Subject[Patch Part3 v3 38/38] x86, irq: Add kernel parameter vector_alloc to set CPU vector allocation policy
Date
Parameter vector_alloc should be set to an integer with:
bit 0: enable allocating CPU vector from CPUs on device local node.
That's to allocate from cpumask_of_node(irq_data->node).
bit 1: enable the default policy, which is to allocate from
apic->target_cpus().

When allocating vectors, it tries all enabled policies from lower bit
position to higher bit position.

This option could be use to optimize interrupt distribution on large
system such as NumaChip etc.
