[patch 00/23] x86: Cleanup apic/ioapic/x2apic setup code

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

While reviewing Jiangs interrupt remapping patch set, I had several
serious WTF moments when trying to understand what that code is doing.

The main issues I've seen are:

    - Blindly copy and pasted code

    - Random places which initialize bits and pieces

    - Code which got mindlessly expanded with duct tape and glue
      without considering readability and maintainability.

    - Missing inline stubs which result in a ifdef nightmare

    - Superflous inline stubs to artificially avoid sensible ifdefs

The deeper I looked the more I started to get grumpy about that maze
and finally sat down and cleaned it up seriously. One bug I fixed on
the way (surprise, surprise) got folded into Jiangs series which is
now in tip/x86/apic. The other one is not that crucial and cant be
fixed in the previous code without adding more mess.

The following patch series applies on top of tip/x86/apic. It cleans
up and consolidates the apic/ioapic/x2apic setup functions.

Please give it a proper review and testing.

Thanks,

	tglx
