Interrupt Descriptions

A few folks have asked recently for the ability to add descriptive strings to
registered interrupt handlers. This is especially true since the advent of
MSI with multiple interrupts per device. I hacked up a prototype today that
adds a new 'bus_describe_intr()' that takes the IRQ resource, the void *
cookie returned by bus_setup_intr() and var args description and appends that
to the interrupt name in the thread and vmstat -i info. The current patch
only has the MI bits and the MD bits for amd64 as well as a sample change to
the igb(4) driver.
The patch is at http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/intr_describe.patch.
An example from this patch is:
> vmstat -i
interrupt total rate
irq1: atkbd0 8 0
irq4: uart0 751 5
irq6: fdc0 6 0
irq14: ata0 36 0
irq20: uhci0 20 0
irq23: uhci3 ehci0 2 0
irq28: mpt0 1661 11
irq256: igb0:tx 0 880 6
irq257: igb0:rx 0 1098 7
irq258: igb0:link 3 0
irq259: igb1:tx 0 1 0
irq260: igb1:rx 0 134 0
irq261: igb1:link 3 0
