IMO, there is no problem to read /proc/interrupts while a CPU is
changing its state. In the worst case, we will show an obsolete
information to the userspace. The same happens when we do 'ps', we have
no guarantee a process still exists when the information is displayed.
But I may be wrong and in this case, the other arch have a bug.

The procfs is used as an API from the userspace and AFAICS the other
architectures display their arch specific interrupts for the online
cpus, not the present cpus.

Other non-arch dependant informations are per online cpus, so while
looking at the /proc/interrupts we have column shift for the IPI on ARM.

I don't know if it is worth to fix that but that may be more consistent.

Thanks
