commit a7f58b9ecfd3c0f63703ec10f4a592cc38dbd1b8 upstream. Devices with slow interrupt handlers are significantly harming performance when their interrupt vector is shared with a fast device. Create a class code white list for devices with known fast interrupt handlers and let all other devices share a single vector so that they don't interfere with performance. At the moment, only the NVM Express class code is on the list, but more may be added if VMD users desire to use other low-latency devices in these domains.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
