Try:

                                                                    vv
  ... awk '/irq/ {print gensub(/(^[a-z0-9]+[: ]).*(irq [0-9]+).*/, "\\2", 1)}'
                                                                    ^^

Note the extra backslash in the string for the replacement.

Also, 3.0.6 is old; the current version is 3.1.3.
