That is interesting as it really isn't related to interrupts at all,
it just ensures that possible CPUs are set in ->cpumask.

I guess we'd really want:

e005655c389e3d25bf3e43f71611ec12f3012de0
"blk-mq: only select online CPUs in blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu"

before this commit, but it seems like the whole stack didn't work for
your either.

I wonder if there is some weird thing about nr_cpu_ids in s390?
