x86: Increase NR_IRQS and nr_irqs
I have a system with lots of igb and ixgbe, when iov/vf are
enabled for them, we hit the limit of 3064.
when system has 20 pcie installed, and one card has 2
functions, and one function needs 64 msi-x,
may need 20 * 2 * 64 = 2560 for msi-x
but if iov and vf are enabled
may need 20 * 2 * 64 * 3 = 7680 for msi-x
assume system with 5 ioapic, nr_irqs_gsi will be 120.
NR_CPUS = 512, and nr_cpu_ids = 128
will have NR_IRQS = 256 + 512 * 64 = 33024
will have nr_irqs = 120 + 8 * 128 + 120 * 64 = 8824
When SPARSE_IRQ is not set, there is no increase with kernel data
size.
when NR_CPUS=128, and SPARSE_IRQ is set:
