Hi,

I have a few comments.

Is this the maximum number of CPUs the MCT could theoretically support?

Is there any reason you can't use {request,free}_irq?

This doesn't seem good to me. You're duplicating the logic for each CPU. Can
you not figure out which values you need based on the smp_processor_id (or even
better, the *evt) without requiring a separate branch for each CPU?

Again, I don't think each CPU should be special-cased. If you used
{request,free}_irq this would be simpler.

Thanks,
