A number of irqchip drivers are directly calling irq_find_mapping,
which may use a rcu_read_lock call when walking the radix tree.
If this happens to be easy for you to determine: do direct callers of
irq_find_host such as irq_create_of_mapping have a similar problem with
irq_domain_mutex?
Definitely not from this problem. irq_find_host doesn't use RCU at all,
so it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks,
