- add-irq-flag-to-disable-balancing-for-an-interrupt.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Add irq flag to disable balancing for an interrupt
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     add-irq-flag-to-disable-balancing-for-an-interrupt.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Add irq flag to disable balancing for an interrupt
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Add a flag so we can prevent the irq balancing of an interrupt.  Move the
bits, so we have room for more :)

Necessary for the ability to setup clocksources more flexible (e.g.  use the
different HPET channels per CPU)
