Currently Kconfig knob ARC_NUMBER_OF_INTERRUPTS is used as indicator of
hard irq count. But it is flawed that it doesn't affect
- NR_IRQS : for number of virtual interrupts
- NR_CPU_IRQS : for number of hardware interrupts
Moreover the actual hardware irq count might still not be same as
ARC_NUMBER_OF_INTERRUPTS. So use the information availble in the
Build Configuration Registers and get rid of the Kconfig option.
We still need "some" build time info about irq count to set up
sufficient number of vector table entries. This is done with a
sufficiently large NR_CPU_IRQS which will eventually be used soley for
that purpose (subsequent patches will remove its usage elsewhere)
So to summarize what this patch does:
* NR_CPU_IRQS defines a maximum number of hardware interrupts.
* Remove ARC_NUMBER_OF_INTERRUPTS option and create interrupts
table for all possible hardware interrupts.
* Increase a maximum number of virtual IRQs to 512. ARCv2 can
support 240 interrupts in the core interrupts controllers
and 128 interrupts in IDU. Thus 512 virtual IRQs must be
enough for most configurations of boards.
This patch leads to NR_CPU_IRQS in 2 places, to reduce the overall
churn. The next patch will remove the 2nd definition anyways.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
