Subject: genirq: Add default affinity mask command line option
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Fri, 25 May 2012 16:59:47 +0200

If we isolate CPUs, then we don't want random device interrupts on
them. Even w/o the user space irq balancer enabled we can end up with
irqs on non boot cpus.

Allow to restrict the default irq affinity mask.
