Current IRQ affinity interface does not provide a way to set affinity

This patch creates /proc/irq/default_smp_affinity that lets users set
default affinity mask for the newly allocated IRQs. Changing default
does not affect affinity masks for the currently active IRQs, they
have to be changed explicitly.

Documentation, perhaps an update to Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt ?
Absolutely. I wanted to see if it gets accepted first.

Please don't use /** as the beginning of a comment block unless that
comment block is in kernel-doc format (this one is not).

Oops, my bad. Did it again. Will fix.
