Nicholas Piggin 56c0b48b1e powerpc/powernv: process all OPAL event interrupts with kopald
Using irq_work for processing OPAL event interrupts is not necessary.
irq_work is typically used to schedule work from NMI context, a
softirq may be more appropriate. However OPAL events are not
particularly performance or latency critical, so they can all be
invoked by kopald.

This patch removes the irq_work queueing, and instead wakes up
kopald when there is an event to be processed. kopald processes
interrupts individually, enabling irqs and calling cond_resched
between each one to minimise latencies.

Event handlers themselves should still use threaded handlers,
workqueues, etc. as necessary to avoid high interrupts-off latencies
within any single interrupt.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
