4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Nicolai Stange <nsta...@suse.de> commit 9aee5f8a7e30330d0a8f4c626dc924ca5590aba5 upstream An upcoming patch will extend KVM's L1TF mitigation in conditional mode to also cover interrupts after VMEXITs. For tracking those, stores to a new per-cpu flag from interrupt handlers will become necessary. In order to improve cache locality, this new flag will be added to x86's irq_cpustat_t. Make some space available there by shrinking the ->softirq_pending bitfield from 32 to 16 bits: the number of bits actually used is only NR_SOFTIRQS, i.e. 10.
