Hi Yingliang,
	As we are going to move migrate_irqs() to generic kernel
code, and powerpc, metag, xtensa, sh, ia64 mn10300 also defines
 migrate_irqs() too. It would be great if we could consolidate
all these.
	And as we are going to refine these code, there's another
issue need attention. On x86, we need to allocate a CPU vector
if an irq is directed to a CPU. So there's possibility that
we run out of CPU vectors after CPU hot-removal. So we have a
mechanism to detect whether we will run out of CPU vector
after removing a CPU, and reject CPU hot-removal if that will
happen.
	So the key point is, if we a need to allocate some sort
of resource on the target CPUs for an irq, we need two steps
when removing a CPU
1) check whether resources are available after removing the CPU,
   and reject CPU removal request if we ran out of resource
2) fix irqs after hot-removing the CPU.
Thanks!
Gerry
