ok, it seems that your compiler is broken... is that RHEL 5.1 stock compiler

[PATCH] sparseirq: add oninline to workaround compiler

Impact: fix panic on null pointer with sparseirq

some compiler seems to inline the weak global function.
try to workaround it

also remove duplicated arch_early_irq_init()
already have one weak copy in init/main.c
