[PATCH v3] irqchip: omap-intc: add support for spurious irq handling

[Sekhar Nori]

Under some conditions, irq sorting procedure used
by INTC can go wrong resulting in a spurious irq
getting reported.

If this condition is not handled, it results in
endless stream of:

    unexpected IRQ trap at vector 00

messages from ack_bad_irq()

Handle the spurious interrupt condition in omap-intc
driver to prevent this.

Measurements using kernel function profiler on AM335x
EVM running at 720MHz show that after this patch
omap_intc_handle_irq() takes about 37.4us against
34us before this patch.

v3: add unlikely(), add profiling information
    to commit message.

v2: increment error irq counter, use pr_err_once,
    add a comment on tips to debug spurious irq
    condition.

This patch results in a checkpatch warning about
extern definition of irq_err_count, but looks like
thats the prevalent method of accessing that counter.

Looks good to me, probably should get tagged Cc stable when

If this condition is not handled, it results in endless stream of:

Measurements using kernel function profiler on AM335x EVM running at 720MHz
show that after this patch omap_intc_handle_irq() takes about 37.4us against
