Merge branch 'irq-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull irq fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Fix for a regression caused by the conversion of x86 to the generic
  hotplug code.

  Instead of doing a plain single line revert, this adds a pile of
  comments so the semantics of the force argument are clear"
