[PATCH v2 1/3] genirq/msi: Shutdown managed interrupts with unsatifiable affinities

[Marc Zyngier]

When booting with maxcpus=<small number>, interrupt controllers
such as the GICv3 ITS may not be able to satisfy the affinity of
some managed interrupts, as some of the HW resources are simply
not available.

The same thing happens when loading a driver using managed interrupts
while CPUs are offline.

In order to deal with this, do not try to activate such interrupt
if there is no online CPU capable of handling it. Instead, place
it in shutdown state. Once a capable CPU shows up, it will be
activated.
