Incidentally, there's another quirk in fixup_irqs():

...
        alloc_cpumask_var(&mask, GFP_KERNEL);
...
        local_irq_enable();
        mdelay(1);
        local_irq_disable();


Either it's called with IRQs disabled, in which case it shouldn't do
GFP_KERNEL, or it's called with IRQs enabled, in which case it doesn't
need the local_irq_enable(), no?
