[PATCH] x86: increase interrupt vector range
Remove the limit of 256 interrupt vectors by changing the value stored in
orig_{e,r}ax to be the complemented interrupt vector. The orig_{e,r}ax
needs to be < 0 to allow the signal code to distinguish between return from
interrupt and return from syscall. With this change applied, NR_IRQS can
be > 256.
Xen extends the IRQ numbering space to include room for dynamically
allocated virtual interrupts (in the range 256-511), which requires a more
permissive interface to do_IRQ.
