Treewide: - Cleanup of setup_irq() which is not longer required because the memory allocator is available early. Most cleanup changes come through the various maintainer trees, so the final removal of setup_irq() is postponed towards the end of the merge window. Core: - Protection against unsafe invocation of interrupt handlers and unsafe interrupt injection including a fixup of the offending PCI/AER error injection mechanism. Invoking interrupt handlers from arbitrary contexts, i.e. outside of an actual interrupt, can cause inconsistent state on the fragile x86 interrupt affinity changing hardware trainwreck. Drivers: - Second wave of support for the new ARM GICv4.1 - Multi-instance support for Xilinx and PLIC interrupt controllers - CPU-Hotplug support for PLIC - The obligatory new driver for X1000 TCU - Enhancements, cleanups and fixes all over the place
