This results in a warning:
kernel/irq/proc.c:49: warning: implicit declaration of function `is_affinity_mask_valid'

I can't put a declaration for is_affinity_mask_valid into
include/asm-ia64/irq.h because that results in errors in
files that include this, but don't have a definition for
cpumask_t.

I could add the declaration as a #else clause to that
#ifndef in kernel/irq/proc.c, but that would no doubt
result is complaints from the style police that function
prototypes belong in header files, not in ".c" files.

Last option is to move the #if to linux/irq.h:

#ifndef is_affinity_mask_valid
#define is_affinity_mask_valid 1
#else
extern bool is_affinity_mask_valid(cpumask_t cpumask);
#endif

But that seems to spoil the whole tricksiness factor and
doesn't really look any better that using ARCH_HAS_IRQ_AFFINITY_MASK_CHECK
