hardirq: Make hardirq bits generic
There is no reason for per arch hardirq bits. Make them all generic Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130917183628.534494408@linutronix.de

- * The hardirq count can in theory reach the same as NR_IRQS.
- * In reality, the number of nested IRQS is limited to the stack
- * size as well. For archs with over 1000 IRQS it is not practical
- * to expect that they will all nest. We give a max of 10 bits for
- * hardirq nesting. An arch may choose to give less than 10 bits.
- * m68k expects it to be 8.

- * - bits 16-25 are the hardirq count (max # of nested hardirqs: 1024)
- * - bit 26 is the NMI_MASK
- * - bit 27 is the PREEMPT_ACTIVE flag
+ * The hardirq count could in theory be the same as the number of
+ * interrupts in the system, but we run all interrupt handlers with
+ * interrupts disabled, so we cannot have nesting interrupts. Though
+ * there are a few palaeontologic drivers which reenable interrupts in
+ * the handler, so we need more than one bit here.
