Subject[PATCH] x86_64: Survive having no irq mapping for a vector
Date

Occasionally the kernel has bugs that result in no irq being found for
a given cpu vector. If we acknowledge the irq the system has a good
chance of continuing even though we dropped an irq message. If we
continue to simply print a message and not acknowledge the irq the
system is likely to become non-responsive shortly there after.
