This patch alone has the possiblity of breaking CPU hotplug on arm and
arm64 (specifically it breaks hot unplugging CPU0 where interrupts may
be left targetting the offline CPU).

For arm64 [1] that's fixed by commit 601c942176d8 (arm64: use
cpu_online_mask when using forced irq_set_affinity).

Unfortunately there is not an equivalent fix for arm - Russell objected
to the approach [2,3,4], and that's not yet settled.

Mark.
