btw., one new thing i got in testing due to irq/sparseirq is this new
lockdep splat:

[ 0.000000] Initializing CPU#0
[ 0.000000] found new irq_desc for irq 0

[ 0.000000] the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation.

[ 0.000000] found new irq_desc for irq 2
[ 0.000000] found new irq_desc for irq 3

this:

static void init_one_irq_desc(struct irq_desc *desc)
{
memcpy(desc, &irq_desc_init, sizeof(struct irq_desc));
#ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS
lockdep_set_class(&desc->lock, &irq_desc_lock_class);
#endif
}

looks wrong - it should be unconditional (i've done that via the patch
below). I dont remember why we made early_init_irq_lock_class()
dependent on CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS before. Peter, do you have any
memories?
