I've added the following patch to the queue, in order to deal with
percpu interrupts that were not handled by this patch:

diff --git a/kernel/irq/manage.c b/kernel/irq/manage.c
index f8fd1fb..00cfc85 100644
--- a/kernel/irq/manage.c
+++ b/kernel/irq/manage.c

 	type &= IRQ_TYPE_SENSE_MASK;

Thanks,
