oh, what I was thinking about... it should be as simple as this.

Subject: [PATCH] x86/hpet: fix NULL pointer deference in
 msi_domain_alloc_irqs()

Fix the following oops:
 hpet_msi_get_hwirq+0x1f/0x27
 msi_domain_alloc+0x35/0xfe
 ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x16c/0x188
 irq_domain_alloc_irqs_recursive+0x51/0x95
 __irq_domain_alloc_irqs+0x151/0x223
 hpet_assign_irq+0x5d/0x68
 hpet_msi_capability_lookup+0x121/0x1cb
 ? hpet_enable+0x2b4/0x2b4
 hpet_late_init+0x5f/0xf2
 ? hpet_enable+0x2b4/0x2b4
 do_one_initcall+0x184/0x199
 kernel_init_freeable+0x1af/0x237
 ? rest_init+0x13a/0x13a
 kernel_init+0xe/0xd4
 ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70
 ? rest_init+0x13a/0x13a

since 3cb96f0c9733 ('x86/hpet: Enhance HPET IRQ to support hierarchical
irqdomains') hpet_msi_capability_lookup() uses hpet_assign_irq(). the
latter discards `irq_alloc_info info' param and instead passes NULL to
__irq_domain_alloc_irqs() as `arg'. __irq_domain_alloc_irqs() invokes
irq_domain_alloc_irqs_recursive(), which msi_domain_alloc_irqs() and,
eventually, accesses `arg->hpet_index' in hpet_msi_get_hwirq().

pass a correct `irq_alloc_info info' pointer to irq_domain_alloc_irqs()
in hpet_assign_irq() to fix the oops.
