x86/irq: Fix XT-PIC-XT-PIC in /proc/interrupts
Fix duplicate XT-PIC seen in /proc/interrupts on x86 systems
that make use of 8259A Programmable Interrupt Controllers.
Specifically convert output like this:
CPU0
0: 76573 XT-PIC-XT-PIC timer
1: 11 XT-PIC-XT-PIC i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC-XT-PIC cascade
4: 8 XT-PIC-XT-PIC serial
6: 3 XT-PIC-XT-PIC floppy
7: 0 XT-PIC-XT-PIC parport0
8: 1 XT-PIC-XT-PIC rtc0
10: 448 XT-PIC-XT-PIC fddi0
12: 23 XT-PIC-XT-PIC eth0
14: 2464 XT-PIC-XT-PIC ide0
NMI: 0 Non-maskable interrupts
ERR: 0
to one like this:
CPU0
0: 122033 XT-PIC timer
1: 11 XT-PIC i8042
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 8 XT-PIC serial
6: 3 XT-PIC floppy
7: 0 XT-PIC parport0
8: 1 XT-PIC rtc0
10: 145 XT-PIC fddi0
12: 31 XT-PIC eth0
14: 2245 XT-PIC ide0
NMI: 0 Non-maskable interrupts
ERR: 0
that is one like we used to have from ~2.2 till it was changed
sometime.
The rationale is there is no value in this duplicate
information, it merely clutters output and looks ugly. We only
have one handler for 8259A interrupts so there is no need to
give it a name separate from the name already given to
irq_chip.
We could define meaningful names for handlers based on bits in
the ELCR register on systems that have it or the value of the
LTIM bit we use in ICW1 otherwise (hardcoded to 0 though with
MCA support gone), to tell edge-triggered and level-triggered
inputs apart. While that information does not affect 8259A
interrupt handlers it could help people determine which lines
are shareable and which are not. That is material for a
separate change though.
Any tools that parse /proc/interrupts are supposed not to be
affected since it was many years we used the format this change
converts back to.
