You of course still have the option to simply delete anything that is
not yet immutable, or remove the irq_chip patching support. The kernel
has been screaming for three years now, and these drivers are pretty
much unmaintained.

My bet is that nobody will notice, and I suspect tglx will gladly take
patches deleting unmaintained code. Once that's done, you can drop the
immutable flag, which won't serve any purpose anymore.
