Introduce irq_desc_match_fist_irqaction() to support setup_irq()

Hi Thomas/lkml,
setup_irq() code contains a big chunk of 130 code lines that
can be divided to several smaller methods. These 2 patches introduce
those small functions to aid toward setup_irq() code modularity.
No major code logic changes exist.
Patches can be applied cleanly over v2.6.23-rc9.

Hi Ingo,
I am seeing a problem on the latest -rt where lockdep completely overwhelms
the system to the point that it grinds to a halt on large (8-way+) systems.
The problem seems to be that the class->locks_before and locks_after grow
unbounded (I have observed over 1M+ entries in them) so
Doh! I guess there should be a rule about sending patches out after midnight
;)
The original patch I worked on was written before the code was moved to
validate_chain(), so my previous posting didnt quite translate when I merged
with git HEAD. Here is an updated patch. Sorry for the confusion.

The previous version of this patch missed a code path in
inserting the boot cpu into the cpu sibling and core maps.
This fix corrects that omission.

More majordomo info
There are two versions of per_cpu_init() for ia64. This patch corrects
the problem that one of the versions did not insert the boot cpu
into the cpu sibling and core maps.

That wouldn't actually do an exec, assuming you're using bash,

Alternative patch:
procfs: Don't read runtime twice when computing task's stime
Current code reads p->se.sum_exec_runtime twice and goes through
multiple type conversions to calculate stime. Read it once and
skip some of the conversions.

Actually, you were right, not only it's enabled but it's also the

Hi,
This message contains a list of some known regressions from 2.6.22 for which
there are no fixes in the mainline that I know of. If any of them have been
fixed
already, please let me know.
If you know of any other unresolved regressions from 2.6.22, please let me know
either and I'll add the

The following patch is a generalization of the latency.c implementation
done by Arjan last year. It provides infrastructure for more than one
parameter, and exposes a user mode interface for processes to register
pm_qos expectations of processes.
This interface provides a kernel and user mode in
