Thomas has all the fixes queued up in tip/irq/core. Presumably that
means they'll go to 6.18. They're test-only fixes, so they don't affect
the behavior of the kernel itself; I don't know the policies around
that, and whether they should be prioritized for 6.17.

I think this is the full set of related changes that aren't in mainline
yet:

c9163915a93d genirq/test: Fix depth tests on architectures with NOREQUEST by default.
f8a44f9babd0 genirq/test: Select IRQ_DOMAIN
59405c248ace genirq/test: Factor out fake-virq setup
988f45467f13 genirq/test: Fail early if interrupt request fails
0c888bc86d67 genirq/test: Depend on SPARSE_IRQ
add03fdb9d52 genirq/test: Drop CONFIG_GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION assumptions
8ad25ebfa70e genirq/test: Ensure CPU 1 is online for hotplug test
