I think your analysis is right, and I agree that removing the BUG_ON
from __unbind_from_irq seems like the right solution.

I can't see any issues from calling xen_free_irq with type ==
IRQT_UNBOUND, but I've already attempted to fix this once and failed,
so I would like to get second opinions. Also I'm not sure of the
reason behind that BUG_ON.

Roger.
