From memory at least x86, alpha, ppc32 and ppc64 worked with Andrey's irq consolidation patches. I'll be pushing for it in 2.7 together with some macros to abstract away irq_desc[NR_IRQS] completely. (it will make it easier to support 24 bit irqs on ppc64 and should allow sparc64 to use the consolidated irq code).
