Not really - alloc_bootmem() etc panic for themselves unless you use the
_nopanic variants.
Also, alloc_bootmem() etc zero the allocated memory, so no need for
memset(), and the subsequent BUG_ON() can obviously go away.
And finally, PAGE_SIZE isn't correct, you should use the size originally
used, just slightly modified:

BITS_TO_LONGS(ALIGN(NR_PIRQS, PAGE_SIZE * 8))

I was about to put together a patch for this myself...
