Subject: [PATCH linux-next v3 1/2] irq: Add CPU mask affinity hint
This patch adds a cpumask affinity hint to the irq_desc
structure, along with a registration function and a read-only
proc entry for each interrupt.
This affinity_hint handle for each interrupt can be used by
underlying drivers that need a better mechanism to control
interrupt affinity. The underlying driver can register a
cpumask for the interrupt, which will allow the driver to
provide the CPU mask for the interrupt to anything that
requests it. The intent is to extend the userspace daemon,
irqbalance, to help hint to it a preferred CPU mask to balance
the interrupt into.
