After commit 8c058b0b9c34 ("x86/irq: Probe for PIC presence before
allocating descs for legacy IRQs") early_irq_init() will no longer
preallocate descriptors for legacy interrupts if PIC does not
exist, which is the case for Xen PV guests.

Therefore we may need to allocate those descriptors ourselves.

You need to do this for arm64 too.

FYI you can download arm64 cross-compilers from
https://releases.linaro.org/14.04/components/toolchain/binaries/
then you can use them by exporting ARCH=arm64 and
CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-version/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
I did test on arm but didn't realize that arm64 uses different include files.

Does arm64 not have any legacy interrupts?

BTW, I got this build error:

   STUBCPY drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-sort.stub.o

I worked around this by removing some of EFI config options but presumably
this needs to be properly fixed.
Interesting. This build error could be something new. Could you please
post your kernel config?

Attached.

This, BTW, is on a relatively old toolstack:
gcc version 4.8.2 20131014 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-4.8-2013.10 - Linaro GCC 2013.10)
