This doesn't make any sense at all. irq_chip_redirect_set_affinity() is
only accessing interrupt descriptor associated memory and the new
redirection CPU is the same as the previous one as the mask changes from
0xff to 0x7f and therefore cpumask_first() yields 0 in both cases.

According to the provided dmesg, this happens on linux-next.

Jon, can you please validate that this happens as well on

     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git irq/msi

Thanks
