I have seen it reported in many places like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=225399 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/480997

I just realized that handler_irq checks for < NR_IRQS where the
underflow will fail and will return. So this patch is not required.
However, I think we need to fix the unsigned / int mixup by
assigning vector_irq[..] to NR_IRQS+1 as guard value and
changing unsigned to signed as in patch.
