I can't believe this whole IRQ penalty thing needs to be so
complicated.
The only time we actually use the penalty information is when we're
attaching a driver to a PCI device, i.e., in this path:
pci_device_probe
pcibios_alloc_irq
pcibios_enable_irq
That happens pretty late, so there's no "can't allocate memory during
early boot" problem.
I bet the only thing that might happen early enough to be an issue is
the acpi_penalize_sci_irq() thing, which is a special case that
doesn't need to be handled generically.
