Subject: ACPI/PCI/IRQ: assign ISA IRQ directly during early boot stages

From: Sinan Kaya <[email protected]>

commit eeaed4bb5a35591470b545590bb2f26dbe7653a2 upstream.

We do not want to store the SCI penalty in the acpi_isa_irq_penalty[] table because acpi_isa_irq_penalty[] only holds ISA IRQ penalties and there's no guarantee that the SCI is an ISA IRQ. We add in the SCI penalty as a special case in acpi_irq_get_penalty().

But if we called acpi_penalize_isa_irq() or acpi_irq_penalty_update() for an SCI that happened to be an ISA IRQ, they stored the SCI penalty (part of the acpi_irq_get_penalty() return value) in acpi_isa_irq_penalty[]. Subsequent calls to acpi_irq_get_penalty() returned a penalty that included *two* SCI penalties.
