Hi, Marc
     Current system only supports (NR_IRQS + 8196) interrupts.  It's not 
enough on ARM64
server, on D06 we have several pcie devices and each device supports 256 
VMs and each
VM uses 64 interrupts. Can we set NR_IRQS to a bigger value to support 
more interrupts ?

Thanks,
Yang

You could, but it feels quite hackish, and not future proof at all. It
would unnecessarily affect smaller systems that do not need the overhead.

I'd rather we offer the architecture a way to buy into a more dynamic
scheme which wouldn't be limited by a bitmap, or at least made the
bitmap extensible.

I'll have a think about it.

Thanks,

	M.
