Core changes: - Prevent a potential deadlock when initial priority is assigned to a newly created interrupt thread. A recent change to plug a race between cpuset and __sched_setscheduler() introduced a new lock dependency which is now triggered. Break the lock dependency chain by moving the priority assignment to the thread function. - A couple of small updates to make the irq core RT safe. - Confine the irq_cpu_online/offline() API to the only left unfixable user Cavium Octeon so that it does not grow new usage. - A small documentation update Driver changes: - A large cross architecture rework to move irq_enter/exit() into the architecture code to make addressing the NOHZ_FULL/RCU issues simpler. - The obligatory new irq chip driver for Microchip EIC - Modularize a few irq chip drivers - Expand usage of devm_*() helpers throughout the driver code - The usual small fixes and improvements all over the place
