Pull x86 interrupt handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Add support for posted interrupts on bare metal.

  Posted interrupts is a virtualization feature which allows to inject
  interrupts directly into a guest without host interaction. The VT-d
  interrupt remapping hardware sets the bit which corresponds to the
  interrupt vector in a vector bitmap which is either used to inject the
  interrupt directly into the guest via a virtualized APIC or in case
  that the guest is scheduled out provides a host side notification
  interrupt which informs the host that an interrupt has been marked
  pending in the bitmap.

  This can be utilized on bare metal for scenarios where multiple
  devices, e.g. NVME storage, raise interrupts with a high frequency. In
  the default mode these interrupts are handles independently and
  therefore require a full roundtrip of interrupt entry/exit.

  Utilizing posted interrupts this roundtrip overhead can be avoided by
  coalescing these interrupt entries to a single entry for the posted
  interrupt notification. The notification interrupt then demultiplexes
  the pending bits in a memory based bitmap and invokes the
  corresponding device specific handlers.

  Depending on the usage scenario and device utilization throughput
  improvements between 10% and 130% have been measured.

  As this is only relevant for high end servers with multiple device
  queues per CPU attached and counterproductive for situations where
  interrupts are arriving at distinct times, the functionality is opt-in
  via a kernel command line parameter"
