This needs to be explained *a lot* more .

My hunch is that because a CPU going offline can still receive
interrupts
thanks to your interrupt broadcast hack, you break some the core
expectations,
and RCU shouts at you.

If that's indeed the case, I don't think the architecture code needs
fixing
(or at least, not for that).

Conveniently, the code that takes care of migrating the interrupts is
just below this comment. Which strongly suggests that the interrupt
migration is broken by your earlier patch.

What problem are you addressing here?

Thanks,
