When requesting or freeing interrupts, we use platform_get_irq() to find relevant irqs, backing this up with additional information in an optional irq_affinity table. This means that our irq request and free paths are tied to a platform_device, and our request path must jump through a number of hoops in order to determine the required affinity of each interrupt. Given that the affinity must be static, we can compute the affinity once up-front at probe time, simplifying the irq request and free paths. By recording interrupts in a per-cpu data structure, we simplify a few paths, and permit a subsequent rework of the request and free paths.

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.
