x86/vector/msi: Switch to global reservation mode
Devices with many queues allocate a huge number of interrupts and get assigned a vector for each of them, even if the queues are not active and the interrupts never requested. This causes problems with the decision whether the global vector space is sufficient for CPU hot unplug operations. Change it to a reservation scheme, which allows overcommitment. When the interrupt is allocated and initialized the vector assignment merily updates the reservation request counter in the matrix allocator. This counter is used to emit warnings when the reservation exceeds the available vector space, but does not affect CPU offline operations. Like the managed interrupts the corresponding MSI/DMAR/IOAPIC entries are directed to the special shutdown vector. When the interrupt is requested, then the activation code tries to assign a real vector. If that succeeds the interrupt is started up and functional. If that fails, then subsequently request_irq() fails with -ENOSPC. This allows a clear separation of inactive and active modes and simplifies the final decisions whether the global vector space is sufficient for CPU offline operations.
