In uv_setup_irq(), the call to create_irq() initially assigns IRQ
vectors to cpu 0. The subsequent call to assign_irq_vector() in
arch_enable_uv_irq() migrates the IRQ to another cpu and frees the cpu
0 vector - at least it will be freed as soon as the "IRQ move"
completes. 

arch_enable_uv_irq() needs to send a cleanup IPI to complete the IRQ move.
Otherwise, assignment of GRU interrupts on large systems (>200 cpus)
will exhaust the cpu 0 interrupt vectors and initialization of the GRU
driver will fail.
