whenever this should happen, the source of this interrupt cannot be
determined and acked. So it's very likely that we end up in some kind of
interrupt storm. So i suggest to use at least WARN_ON_ONCE().

Even worse the value of variable "group" is uninitialized in this case,
so maybe we better return immediately after that.
