    genirq: Add force argument to irq_startup() · 4cde9c6b

    In order to handle managed interrupts gracefully on irq_startup() so they
    won't lose their assigned affinity, it's necessary to allow startups which
    keep the interrupts in managed shutdown state, if none of the assigend CPUs
    is online. This allows drivers to request interrupts w/o the CPUs being
    online, which avoid online/offline churn in drivers.
    
    Add a force argument which can override that decision and let only
    request_irq() and enable_irq() allow the managed shutdown
    handling. enable_irq() is required, because the interrupt might be
    requested with IRQF_NOAUTOEN and enable_irq() invokes irq_startup() which
    would then wreckage the assignment again. All other callers force startup
    and potentially break the assigned affinity.
    
    No functional change as this only adds the function argument.
