There is no such parameter.

And when the non-existing parameter is not on the command line then
irq->affinity is showing the correct value magically?

Definitely not: It's unconditionally showing irq->affinity and that is
pretty unlikely to match irq->percpu_affinity in any case.

This breaks all architecture which mark interrupts as per CPU without
using the partition mechanism resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.
