Note that there is an outstanding bug report that the IRQ affinity
forcing breaks CPU hotplug... which would be a regression.  Linus'
policy is that if a bug fix causes a new regression, then the bug
fix is wrong and needs to be reverted.

So... don't hang your hopes on this just yet... the "fix" for this
_has_ caused a regression elsewhere, and we need to sort out what
we're doing about that first.
