Hi Laurence,
Wrt. your issue, I have investigated a bit and found that it is because
one irq vector may be assigned to all offline CPUs, and it may not be
same with Vinson's.
And the following patch can address your issue, I may prepare a formal
version if no one objects this approach.
Thomas, Christoph, could you take a look this patch?
