ah, i missed that detail. There was a stupid typo in one of the conflict
resolutions i had to do - could you check the updated patch below?
Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] sparseirq: work around compiler optimizing away __weak functions
Impact: fix panic on null pointer with sparseirq
Some GCC versions seem to inline the weak global function,
when that function is empty.
Work it around, by making the functions return a (dummy) integer.
