[SPARC64]: Use sun4v VIRQ interfaces as intended.
We were simply concatenating the devhandle and devino and using that as the cookie, which defeats the entire purpose of the VIRQ hypervisor interfaces. Now that we use physical addresses for the INO buckets, we can allocate them dynamically for VIRQs and encode the cookies as ~__pa(bucket). This allows us to test for and decode the cookie with a simple: brlz $reg1, 1f xnor $reg1, %g0, $reg2 sequence. This works because bit 64 is never set in traditional INO vectors, and it is also never set in a physical address. So xnor'ing the physical address of the bucket always gives us a negative number, and thus a unique condition we can test cheaply. Inspired by ideas from Greg Onufer. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
