No worries, Thanks for the effort.

ok, as long as you are content not to support x86 atm.

I think maybe a few more tweaks, below. Apart from that, it looks to 
work ok.

Just a note on the return value, in the only current callsite - 
platform_get_irqs_affinity() - we don't check the return value and 
propagate the error. This is because we don't want to fail the interrupt 
init just because of problems updating the affinity mask. So I could 
print a message to inform the user of error (at the callsite).

We're missing the unlock here, right?

And here, and I figure that this should be irqd_affinity_is_managed()
