Subject: x86: activate HARDIRQS_SW_RESEND
From: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>
activate the software-triggered IRQ-resend logic.
it appears some chipsets/cpus do not handle local-APIC driven IRQ
resends all that well, so always use the soft mechanism to trigger
the execution of pending interrupts.
