By default the smp_affinity should be set so that all CPUs can be
interrupted ...

$ cat /proc/irq/70/smp_affinity
0xff

In my case there are 8 CPUs and so 0xff implies that the interrupt can
be triggered on any of the 8 CPUs.

Do you see the set_affinity callback being called for the DWC irqchip in
migrate_one_irq()?
