And you never see any RCU stall after that? It looks like a CPU has
disappeared in the weeds after enabling the per-CPU interrupt.

Please instrument what happens in
drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c::gic_unmask_irq() when d->hwirq == 9, a
well as vgic_maintenance_handler(), just in case it gets called...

Thanks,
