Merge branch 'irq-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A rather large update after the kaisered maintainer finally found time
  to handle regression reports.

   - The larger part addresses a regression caused by the x86 vector
     management rework.

     The reservation based model does not work reliably for MSI
     interrupts, if they cannot be masked (yes, yet another hw
     engineering trainwreck). The reason is that the reservation mode
     assigns a dummy vector when the interrupt is allocated and switches
     to a real vector when the interrupt is requested.

     If the MSI entry cannot be masked then the initialization might
     raise an interrupt before the interrupt is requested, which ends up
     as spurious interrupt and causes device malfunction and worse. The
     fix is to exclude MSI interrupts which do not support masking from
     reservation mode and assign a real vector right away.

   - Extend the extra lockdep class setup for nested interrupts with a
     class for the recently added irq_desc::request_mutex so lockdep can
     differeniate and does not emit false positive warnings.

   - A ratelimit guard for the bad irq printout so in case a bad irq
     comes back immediately the system does not drown in dmesg spam"
