From 1bccd58bfffc5a677051937b332b71f0686187c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Gordeev Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2012 15:15:15 +0200 Subject: x86/apic: Try to spread IRQ vectors to different priority levels When assigning a new vector it is primarially done by adding 8 to the previously given out vector number. Hence, two consequently allocated vector numbers would likely fall into the same priority level. Try to spread vector numbers to different priority levels better by changing the step from 8 to 16.
