mainlining shenanigans
36d46a5907
It's cumbersome and error-prone to keep adding fixed IRQ numbers, and for proper device wakeup support for the virtio/vhost-user support we need to have different IRQs for each device. Even if in theory two IRQs (with and without wake) might be sufficient, it's much easier to reason about it when we have dynamic number assignment. It also makes it easier to add new devices that may dynamically exist or depending on the configuration, etc. Add support for this, up to 64 IRQs (the same limit as epoll FDs we have right now). Since it's not easy to port all the existing places to dynamic allocation (some data is statically initialized) keep the low numbers are reserved for the existing hard-coded IRQ numbers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
