Re: [PATCH] Fix interrupt distribution in ppc970

[Mohan Kumar M <mohan@in.ibm.com>]

Milton,

How about this patch?

=============================================================
In some of the PPC970 based systems, interrupt would be distributed to
offline cpus also even when booted with "maxcpus=1". So check whether
cpu online map and cpu present map are equal or not. If they are equal
default_distrib_server is used as interrupt server otherwise boot cpu
(default_server) used as interrupt server. 

In addition to this, if an interrupt is assigned to a specific cpu (ie
smp affinity) and if that cpu is not online, the earlier code used to
return the default_distrib_server as interrupt server. This patch
introduces an additional paramter to the get_irq function ie
strict_check, based on this parameter, if the cpu is not online either
default_distrib_server or -1 is returned.
