[PATCH linux-next] irq: Clear CPU mask in affinity_hint when none isprovided

From: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr
Date: Wed May 05 2010 - 16:48:21 EST


When an interrupt is disabled and torn down, the CPU mask
returned through affinity_hint right now is all CPUs. Also, for
drivers that don't provide an affinity_hint mask, this can be
misleading. There should be no hint at all, meaning an empty
CPU mask.
