Yes. The bug I fixed will not happen if you don't migrate irqs.

At the very least we want the patch below (already in -mm)
that makes it not a hard hang case.

Subject: [PATCH] x86_64: Survive having no irq mapping for a vector

Occasionally the kernel has bugs that result in no irq being
found for a given cpu vector. If we acknowledge the irq
the system has a good chance of continuing even though we dropped
an missed an irq message. If we continue to simply print a
message and drop and not acknowledge the irq the system is
likely to become non-responsive shortly there after.
