[IA64] vector sharing (Large I/O system support)
Current ia64 linux cannot handle greater than 184 interrupt sources
because of the lack of vectors. The following patch enables ia64 linux
to handle greater than 184 interrupt sources by allowing the same
vector number to be shared by multiple IOSAPIC's RTEs. The design of
this patch is besed on "Intel(R) Itanium(R) Processor Family Interrupt
Architecture Guide".
Even if you don't have a large I/O system, you can see the behavior of
vector sharing by changing IOSAPIC_LAST_DEVICE_VECTOR to fewer value.
