genirq: Make nr_irqs runtime expandable



We face more and more the requirement to expand nr_irqs at
runtime. The reason are irq expanders which can not be detected in the
early boot stage. So we speculate nr_irqs to have enough room. Further
Xen needs extra irq numbers and we really want to avoid adding more
"detection" code into the early boot. There is no real good reason why
we need to limit nr_irqs at early boot.

Allow the allocation code to expand nr_irqs. We have already 8k extra
number space in the allocation bitmap, so lets use it.
