Umm, no. Some suggestions were made so I assumed you'd try those.

Anyway, here is a real patch. Try this:

Thanks a lot, Grant!

Your patch improves the situation significantly. However, it is still not 
entirely fixed:
irq: irq-93==>hwirq-0x5d mapping failed: -22

There are a lot less error messages than before, though. Please see attached 
log.

Best regards,

I am running my 3.8.6 kernel with your patch now (will this be merged anytime 
soon?), but I still get a bunch of irq mapping failed messages.

Examples:
[    0.490734] irq: irq-93==>hwirq-0x5d mapping failed: -22
[   22.016469] irq: no irq domain found for /axon@10000000000/plb5/pciex-
utl@a00000a000004000 !

Please see attached log.

In addition I see a weird issue: All programs run on CPU 0 (cores 0+1) only, 
while CPU 1 (cores 2+3) is always idle. Could this have anything to do with 
the IRQ issue, or shall I start a new thread/report for that?

Best regards,
Dennis
