Pull x86 updates and fixes from Thomas Gleixner: - Fix the (late) fallout from the vector management rework causing hlist corruption and irq descriptor reference leaks caused by a missing sanity check. The straight forward fix triggered another long standing issue to surface. The pre rework code hid the issue due to being way slower, but now the chance that user space sees an EBUSY error return when updating irq affinities is way higher, though quite a bunch of userspace tools do not handle it properly despite the fact that EBUSY could be returned for at least 10 years. It turned out that the EBUSY return can be avoided completely by utilizing the existing delayed affinity update mechanism for irq remapped scenarios as well. That's a bit more error handling in the kernel, but avoids fruitless fingerpointing discussions with tool developers. - Decouple PHYSICAL_MASK from...
