The new kunit tests at kernel/irq/irq_test.c were primarily tested on

architectures that throw complications in the mix, with various CPU
hotplug and IRQ implementation choices.

Guenter has been dutifully noticing and reporting these errors, in
places like:

I hope I've addressed all the failures, but it's hard to tell when I
don't have cross-compilers and QEMU setups for all of these
architectures.

I've tested what I could on arm, arm64, m68k, powerpc64, x86_64, and um
ARCH. (Notably, patch 4 ("genirq/test: Depend on SPARSE_IRQ") drops
support for ARCH=um and ARCH=m68k.)

This series is based on David's patch for these tests:

[PATCH] genirq/test: Fix depth tests on architectures with NOREQUEST by default.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250816094528.3560222-2-davidgow@xxxxxxxxxx/


I started a round of qemu tests. I'll send out results later tonight or
tomorrow morning (unless PG&E decides that we don't need power for the rest
of the day/night ;-).
