    x86, irq: get nr_irqs from madt · 71f521bb

    Until now, NR_IRQS was derived from black magic defines that had to
    be "large enough" to both accomodate NR_CPUS and MAX_NR_IO_APICs.
    
    This resulted in a way too large irq_desc[] array on most x86 systems.
    Especially with larger CPU masks, the size of irq_desc can spiral out
    of control quickly.
    
    So be smarter about it and use precise allocation instead: determine the
    default maximum possible IRQ number from the ACPI MADT. Use a minimum limit
    of at least 32 IRQs for broken BIOSes.
