When I fixed the online/offline vCPU mechanism to work again under
PVHVM guests, I saw this:
[ 665.026885] kmemleak: 7 new suspected memory leaks (see
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak)
but due to not having enough time did not fix it. This patchset
fixes it by stashing the 'char *' of said interrupts line during their
creation. When they are torn down when a VCPU is offline we use said
per-cpu pointer to free it.
As part of it I also added some error checking and some default values.
Please look.
