Up until now all interrupts on s390 have been floating. For MSI interrupts we've used a global summary bit vector (with a bit for each function) and a per-function interrupt bit vector (with a bit per MSI). This patch introduces a new IRQ delivery mode: CPU directed interrupts. In this new mode a per-CPU interrupt bit vector is used (with a bit per MSI per function). Further it is now possible to direct an IRQ to a specific CPU so we can finally support IRQ affinity. If an interrupt can't be delivered because the appointed CPU is occupied by a hypervisor the interrupt is delivered floating. For this a global summary bit vector is used (with a bit per CPU).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
