it's not inconsistent. /proc/interrupts lists registered interrupts plus
some special hardcoded platform interrupts that are not explicitly
registered - with the goal of providing a list of all active interrupt
sources. /proc/interrupts has been doing that for more than 10 years.
Clock event devices themselves are not 'interrupt lines', why should
they be listed in /proc/interrupts?
