So depending on whether or not the HCA driver implements .get_vector_affinity()
either pci_irq_get_affinity() is used or "vector = affinity_hint %
dev->num_comp_vectors"? Sorry but I think that kind of differences makes it
unnecessarily hard for ULP maintainers to provide predictable performance and
consistent behavior across HCAs.
