This is another attempt to add reference counting to IRQ descriptors; or - more to the point - reuse already existing kobj from irq_desc. This allows the same IRQ to be used several times (such as legacy PCI INTx) and when disposing those, only the last reference drop clears the hardware mappings. Domains do not add references to irq_desc as the whole point of this exercise is to move actual cleanup in hardware to the last reference drop. This only changes sparse interrupts (no idea about the other case yet). No changelog as it is all completely rewritten. I am still running tests but I hope this demonstrates the idea. Some context from Cedric: The background context for such a need is that the POWER9 and POWER10 processors have a new XIVE interrupt controller which uses MMIO pages for interrupt management. Each interrupt has a pair of pages which are required to be unmapped in some environment, like PHB removal. And so, all interrupts need to be unmmaped. 1/8 .. 3/8 are removing confusing "realloc" which not strictly required but I was touching this anyway and legacy interrupts should probably use the new counting anyway; 4/8 .. 6/8 is reordering irq_desc disposal; 7/8 adds extra references (probably missed other places); 8/8 is the fix for the original XIVE bug; it is here for demonstration. I am cc'ing ppc list so people can pull the patches from that patchworks.
