The root cause is that some irq_chip variables, especially ia64_msi_chip,
initiate their memeber end to point to NULL. __do_IRQ doesn't check
if irq_chip->end is null and just calls it after processing the interrupt.
As irq_chip->end is called at many places, so I fix it by reinitiating
irq_chip->end to dummy_irq_chip.end, e.g., a noop function.
The root cause is the device struct is initialized twice.
If the device is allocated dynamically by platform_device_alloc,
platform_device_alloc will initialize struct device, then,
platform_device_add should be used to register the device.
The difference between platform_device_register and platform_device_add is
platform_device_register will initiate the device while platform_device_add

So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all,
because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while
you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag,

instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a
self-IPI."
