x86, irq: get nr_irqs from madt
Until now, NR_IRQS was derived from black magic defines that had to be "large enough" to both accomodate NR_CPUS and MAX_NR_IO_APICs. This resulted in a way too large irq_desc[] array on most x86 systems. Especially with larger CPU masks, the size of irq_desc can spiral out of control quickly. So be smarter about it and use precise allocation instead: determine the default maximum possible IRQ number from the ACPI MADT. Use a minimum limit of at least 32 IRQs for broken BIOSes.
