[PATCH 00/19] ILK+ interrupt improvements

[Paulo Zanoni <przanoni@gmail.com>]

From: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com>

Hi

Back in July 2013 I sent an email asking about interrupts and suggesting ways to
improve our code [0]. Based on those discussions, I submitted a patch series
proposing some changes [1]. I received some reviews and the general idea was
accepted, but due to priority changes I couldn't update the series and resend
it.

After this, BDW code got merged and, with it, some BDW-specific IRQ macros
that do basically what I had proposed earlier. So this series tries to reuse
those BDW macros on ILK+ code.

I think this series is an improvement because now, if we want to change how we
treat interrupts, we just need to change the macro and everything gets
automatically updated. Also, our code is now smaller :)

In some of the patches I had to decide between adding POSTING_READ calls to the
macros or leave them on the callers. Adding the calls to the macros means we'll
call them more times than what is strictly necessary. Not doing that means we
may forget some POSTING_READ calls at some point. I chose to follow the BDW
example and leave the task of doing POSTING_READ outside the macros. If we don't
think this is the best way, I can change it, no problem.

I also considered doing the exact same changes to the previous Gens, but I don't
have hardware to test them, and there's a potential to use some different macros
due to PIPESTAT handling. So adding Gen2+ support is left as an exercise to
developers from the future :)

Thanks,
Paulo
