No, you're right. It could very well race against irq_dispose_mapping
(and the disassociate method doesn't provide enough guarantee).
Unfortunately, most of the irqdomain code still relies on this race not
happening. How to fix this is still a bit unclear to me.

There is none, unfortunately.

Thanks,
