SubjectRe: [PATCH] x86: Reserve FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR in used_vectors bitmap.

> Someone from the community found out, that after repeatedly unloading
> and loading a device driver that uses MSI IRQs, the system eventually
> assigned the vector initially reserved for IRQ0 to the device driver.

> The reason for this is, that although IRQ0 is tied to the
> FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR when declaring the irq_vector table, the
> corresponding bit in the used_vectors map is not set. So, if vectors
> are released and assigned often enough, the vector will get assigned
> to another interrupt. This happens more often with MSI interrupts as
> those are exclusively using a vector.
>
> Fix this by setting the bit for the FIRST_DEVICE_VECTOR in the bitmap.

hi, the IO-APIC code got unified in the x86 tree for v2.6.28.

So could you please send the fix against tip/master:

Thanks,
