It is working for me. You're booting with sparse irq. ARM's support of
sparse irq is essentially broken. It does not sparsely allocate
irq_descs, but allocates all nr_irqs irq_descs.

The following patch fixes things and is more in line with other arch's
implementations of arch_probe_nr_irqs. I need to fix mnp platforms
still. Any platform that enables sparse irq needs to either set
machine_desc->nr_irqs or properly call irq_alloc_descs.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: fix sparse irq pre-allocations

Returning NR_IRQS in arch_probe_nr_irqs makes SPARSE_IRQ behave the same as
!SPARSE_IRQ in that NR_IRQ irqdescs are allocated. There is some advantage
that NR_IRQ is run-time vs. compile time, but sparse irq is crippled on
ARM. With irqdomains, each interrupt controller should allocate the
irqdescs that it needs.

If machine_desc->nr_irqs is set, then the irqdescs will be pre-allocated.
If the default NR_IRQS is used then no irqdescs will be pre-allocated.

Perhaps 0-16 should be reserved for IPIs on SMP?

There are 3 users of SPARSE_IRQ: pxa, mnp, and shmobile. shmobile is the
only platform that correctly allocates irqdescs. This commit will break
mnp platforms which don't set nr_irqs.
