[PATCH v2 1/2] ARC: SMP: Set the default affinity to the boot cpu

[Yuriy Kolerov]

By default the kernel sets a value for default affinity which may
not correspond to the real bitmap of potentially online CPUs. E.g.
for ARC HS processors with 2 cores the default value of affinity in
the kernel may be 0xF and it is wrong in this case. This happens
because init_irq_default_affinity() sets all bits in
irq_default_affinity variable by default.

It is better to set the default value of affinity to the boot core
to guarantee that value of irq_default_affinity contains at least
one valid online CPU during the early stage of booting. It is
necessary for proper configuration of affinity for common interrupt.
