How so?

config IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
depends on HAVE_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING && !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE

See above :)

Correct. If there is anything stale then you get what Guilherme
observed. But the irq core can do nothing about that.

Something like the completly untested below should work independent of
config options.
