----
Changes in v4:
- select GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION when config GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION is enabled
- add move_irqs() into kerne/irq/migration.c for cpu hotplug
- use move_irqs() to migrate interrupts on arm/arm64 when cpu is going to down
- split bugfix patch into seperate patches for arm and arm64
Changes in v3:
- introduce config GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION for compiling migration.c
- rename migrate_irqs in arch/ia64/kernel/irq.c to avoid compiling error
Changes in v2:
- use the exiting helper to set IRQD_MOVE_PCNTXT flag
- use for_each_active_irq() instead of for_each_irq_desc()
- add some warn messages when affinity is null or do set affinity failed

Hi All,
There is a bug:
When cpu is disabled, all irqs will be migratged to another cpu.
In some cases, a new affinity is different, it needed to be coppied
to irq's affinity. But if the type of irq is LPI, it's affinity will
not be coppied because of irq_set_affinity's return value.
As Marc and Will suggested, I refactor the arm/arm64 migrating interrupts
code and fix the migrating irq bug while cpu is offline.
I'm trying let the core code do the migrating interrupts matter. kernel/irq/migration.c
depends on CONFIG_GENERIC_PENDING_IRQ, so I introduce config GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION for
compiling migration.c. Then add a generic function for migrating interrupts in migration.c.
And then use the function when cpu is going to down on arm and arm64.
Yang Yingliang (4):
genirq: introduce CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION
genirq: add move_irqs() for cpu hotplug
arm64: fix a migrating irq bug when hotplug cpu
arm: fix a migrating irq bug when hotplug cpu
