Sorry No. Now you will understand why Thomas wanted detailed changelog.
I found one more issue with the help of your new modification to the
changelog.

So, what happens if the irq_desc gets freed by the destroy_irq() in the
sparse irq case? smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() will refer to freed
irq desc memory! Right?

May we should really do something like the appended (untested patch)?
Can you please review and give this a try? Let me review a bit more to
see if this really fixes the issue.

Thanks.
