Hmm. See my comments below.

Define a weak function, get_handle_irq(), in linux/irq.h and
a real one in arch code. Then

        if (!kallsyms_lookup_name(crashpoint->symbol_name)) {
                if (!strcmp(crashpoint->name, "INT_HARDWARE_ENTRY")) {
                        func = get_handle_irq();
                        if (func) {
                                crashpoint->kprobe.addr = func;
                                crashpoint->kprobe.symbol_name = NULL;
                        } else {
                                /* error */
                        }
                } /* anything else? */
        }

Do you like this code better?

Will check.

Yes as Masami explained.
Leaving symbol_name ends up failure of register_kprobe().

All what I did in my arm64 test is
# echo PANIC > /sys/kernel/debug/provoke-crash/INT_HARDWARE_ENTRY

The probe point will hit sooner or later and we will see a panic
(and kdump kicks in).
