The route_irq() function needs to preserve the irq mask by using the _irqsave/irqrestore variants of raw spin lock functions instead of the _irq variants. This is because it is called from __cpu_disable() (via migrate_irqs()), which is called with IRQs disabled, so using the _irq variants re-enables IRQs.
This appears to have been causing occasional hits of the BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()) in __irq_work_run() during CPU hotplug soak testing: BUG: failure at kernel/irq_work.c:122/__irq_work_run()!
