I'm delighted (a) that you're running idr-test (sometimes I feel like I'm
the only one) and (b) to receive such a detailed and thoughtful bug report.
Thank you.

There's an easier way to reproduce this than offlining all the CPUs
-- use taskset:

$ taskset -c 3 ./idr-test 
vvv Ignore these warnings
assertion failed at idr.c:269
assertion failed at idr.c:206
^^^ Warnings over
idr-test: idr-test.c:312: idr_find_test_1: Assertion `!(entry != xa_mk_value(id))' failed.
Aborted

After fixing the current build (git rm
tools/testing/radix-tree/linux/compiler_types.h), I suspected this would fix
the problem:

However, that only gets me to the next problem:

so I'll have to dive into that a bit further.
