This patch adds a cpumask affinity hint to the irq_desc structure, along with a registration function and a read-only proc entry for each interrupt. This affinity_hint handle for each interrupt can be used by underlying drivers that need a better mechanism to control interrupt affinity. The underlying driver can register a cpumask for the interrupt, which will allow the driver to provide the CPU mask for the interrupt to anything that requests it. The intent is to extend the userspace daemon, irqbalance, to help hint to it a preferred CPU mask to balance the interrupt into.
