Can you please move this into kernel/irq/kexec.c?

It's pure interrupt core internal code and there is no point to make
core internal functions visible to random other code just because.

	struct irq_desc *desc;
        unsigned int i;

please

This should not be CONFIG_ARM64. Add something like:

config GENERIC_IRQ_KEXEC_CLEAR_VM_FORWARD
	bool

and select this from ARM64?

This comment does not really explain what this is about. I know you
copied it from the ARM64 implementation, but it should explain what this
actually means. Something like:

         First try to remove the active state from an interrupt which is
         forwarded to a VM. If the interrupt is not forwarded, try to
         EOI the interrupt.

or something like that.

Looking deeper. This function actually cannot be called from this
context. It does:

          irq_get_desc_buslock(irq, &flags, 0);

which means for any interrupt which has an actual buslock implementation
it will end up in a sleepable function and deadlock in the worst case.

Thanks,
