OK. What is the symptom of that? Nothing? Total system crash?

Looks like this can be tagged:

Fixes: 0a4081641d72 ("powerpc/mpic: FSL MPIC error interrupt support.")

Which added the code that uses "12".

Ah right, I get it now.

So there is no bug. It's just a disagreement about whether the "intvec"
argument to mpic_setup_error_int() indicates the first number that's
free to use or the last number that has been allocated.

Right?
