Do you have any test case to reveal the problem?

No. This change is not needed.

When x2apic is used, and apicid > 255, irq remapping is used.

msi_chip.irq_set_affinity will be changed from msi_set_affinity to
x86_io_apic_ops.set_affinity (aka intel_setup_ioapic_entry),  via
irq_remap_modify_chip_defaults().

Thanks
