That needs even more care as this does not include the handling for move in
progress, which will make your affinity setting fail.

Ideally we include that managed shutdown magic into fixup_irqs(), but
that's arch specific. So that needs the long dragged out update to the
generic irq cpuhotplug code to handle the x86'isms proper.
