A non-percpu VIRQ (e.g., VIRQ_CONSOLE) may be freed on a different
VCPU than it is bound to.  This can result in a race between
handle_percpu_irq() and removing the action in __free_irq() because
handle_percpu_irq() does not take desc->lock.  The interrupt handler
sees a NULL action and oopses.

Only use the percpu chip/handler for per-CPU VIRQs (like VIRQ_TIMER).

   # cat /proc/interrupts | grep virq

Since we also use percpu handler when binding for IPIs should we also set explicitly set IRQF_PERCPU in bind_ipi_to_irqhandler() (and drop it from call sites)?

Regardless of that,
