Hi,
I've a couple of comments on the patch:

This snippet is repeated many times. You may want to use an inline
helper (defined as no-op for !CONFIG_SMP), something like this:

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
static inline void migrate_error_int(void)
{
        /*
         * On systems which support CPU disabling (SHub2), all error interrupts
         * are targetted at the boot CPU.
         */
         if (is_shub2() && sn_prom_feature_available(PRF_CPU_DISABLE_SUPPORT))
                set_irq_affinity_info(SGI_II_ERROR, 0, 0);
}
#else
static inline void migrate_error_int(void) { }
#endif

As as bonus you remove the #ifdef from the main code.

Hum, brackets around the inner if statement?
