s/unknow/unknown/
Maybe spell check could be helpful?

"compute vectors for each set after whole vectors are allocated"
doesn't read smoothly.  The caller is requesting "multiple sets of
IRQs".  So each set contains several IRQ vectors.  IIUC, the vectors
calc_sets() are computing are something other than IRQ vectors.
