A crash has been observed when assigning penalty on x86 systems.
It looks like this problem happens on x86 platforms with IOAPIC and an SCI
interrupt override in the ACPI table with interrupt number greater than
16. (22 in this example)
The bug has been introduced by "ACPI, PCI, irq: remove interrupt count
restriction" commit. The code was using kmalloc to resize the interrupt
list. In this use case, the set penalty call is coming from early phase
and the heap is not initialized yet.

Besides from the use case above, there is one more situation where
set_penalty is being called from the init context like. There is support
for setting the penalty through kernel command line.
Adding support to be called from early context for limited number of
interrupts.
