So do you believe that applying this fix will address the failure I
was seeing?  In a follow up to your thread you replyed to Ben
Hurchings saying:

Is there some other patch I should look at as well?

What is your theory for why this was causing a failure in the timer
subsystem?  Were we overrunning the end of irq_desc array and stomping
on some other data structure?

Thanks, regards,
