The current implementation utilizes a bitmap for managing interrupt resend handlers, which is allocated based on the SPARSE_IRQ/NR_IRQS macros. However, this method may not efficiently utilize memory during runtime, particularly when IRQ_BITMAP_BITS is large. Address this issue by using an hlist to manage interrupt resend handlers instead of relying on a static bitmap memory allocation. Additionally, a new function, clear_irq_resend(), is introduced and called from irq_shutdown to ensure a graceful teardown of the interrupt.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
