I tried the same (make omap2plus_defconfig and enabled the above
option), and I do see the interrupts firing on both 4430 and 4460...
/ # cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0 CPU1
29: 1023 404 GIC twd
33: 401 0 GIC arm-pmu
34: 0 441 GIC arm-pmu
What is your kernel commit ID that you applied the patches on top of?
What board are you using? Blaze, panda, etc, and is it 4430 or 4460?
Cheers
Jon
