[PATCH v2 0/3] normalize return value of chip->irq_set_affinity() method

[Jiang Liu]

On x86 platforms, interrupt controller chip's irq_set_affinity() method
always copies affinity mask to irq_data->affinity field but still returns
0(IRQ_SET_MASK_OK). That return value causes the interrupt core logic
unnecessarily copies the mask to irq_data->affinity field again.
So return IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY instead of IRQ_SET_MASK_OK to get rid of
the duplicated copy operation.

v2: split it into three patches for core, x86 and IA64 according to
    Greg KH's suggestion

Jiang Liu (3):
  IRQ: introduce irq_do_set_affinity() to reduce duplicated code
  IRQ,x86: normalize return value of chip->irq_set_affinity() method
  IRQ,IA64: normalize return value of chip->irq_set_affinity() method
