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.
