This enables support for sparse irq, esp for msi/msi-x. You may need
if you have lots of cards supports msi-x installed.
This enables support for sparse irqs. This is useful for distro
kernels that want to define a high CONFIG_NR_CPUS value but still
want to have low kernel memory footprint on smaller machines.
If you don't know what to do here, say Y.
( Sparse IRQs can also be beneficial on NUMA boxes, as they spread
out the irq_desc[] array in a more NUMA-friendly way. )
If you don't know what to do here, say N.
