Yes

No, not that... The fact that you all of a sudden have started
calling irq_domain_alloc_descs() which the function didn't do
before, totally changing the calling semantics for everyone in
the kernel, leading to the problem I then describe with this
potentially being called before the irqdomain for the irqchip
is initialized and descs getting "random" numbers.
