irq is disabled for a fraction of time for cpu as well.
You can use cpumask_andnot to avoid that.


Moreover, something is weird here. I tested the patch in Unleashed with 
a debug statement.

Here are the cpumask plic_set_affinity receives.

# echo 0 > /proc[  280.810000] plic: plic_set_affinity: set affinity [0-1]
[  280.810000] plic: plic_set_affinity: cpu = [0] irq = 4
# echo 1 > /proc[  286.290000] plic: plic_set_affinity: set affinity [0]
[  286.290000] plic: plic_set_affinity: cpu = [0] irq = 4
# echo 2 > /proc[  292.130000] plic: plic_set_affinity: set affinity [1]
[  292.130000] plic: plic_set_affinity: cpu = [1] irq = 4
# echo 3 > /proc[  297.750000] plic: plic_set_affinity: set affinity [0-1]
[  297.750000] plic: plic_set_affinity: cpu = [0] irq = 4

# echo 2 > /proc/irq/4/smp_affinity
[  322.850000] plic: plic_set_affinity: set affinity [1]
[  322.850000] plic: plic_set_affinity: cpu = [1] irq = 4

I have not figured out why it receive cpu mask for 0 & 3.
Not sure if logical cpu id to hart id mapping is responsible for other 
two case. I will continue to test tomorrow.
