Just looking at it some more. This needs a check whether the interrupt
is actually shut down. Otherwise the update will corrupt
state. Something like this:

         if (irqd_is_started(&desc->irq_data))
         	return -EBUSY;

But all of this can't work on x86 due to the way how vector allocation
works. Let me think about that.


Is the problem that we reserve per-cpu managed interrupt space when allocated irq vectors on x86, and so later changing managed vs non-managed setting for irqs messes up this accounting somehow?

Cheers,
John
