Thanks for the insight. I bothered compiling my own qemu just so I can
run m68k this time, and I can reproduce.

I wonder if I should make everything (CONFIG_IRQ_KUNIT_TEST) depend on
CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ, since it seems like arches like m68k can't enable
SPARSE_IRQ, and they can't allocate new (fake) IRQs without it. That'd
be a tweak to patch 4.

Or maybe just 'depends on !M68K', since architectures with higher
NR_IRQS headroom may still work even without SPARSE_IRQ.

Thanks for the testing.
