    xen/events: Use immediate affinity setting · 1ca1b4e2
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    There is absolutely no reason to mimic the x86 deferred affinity
    setting. This mechanism is required to handle the hardware induced issues
    of IO/APIC and MSI and is not in use when the interrupts are remapped.
    
    XEN does not need this and can simply change the affinity from the calling
    context. The core code invokes this with the interrupt descriptor lock held
    so it is fully serialized against any other operation.
    
    Mark the interrupts with IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT to disable the deferred affinity
    setting. The conditional mask/unmask operation is already handled in
    xen_rebind_evtchn_to_cpu().
    
    This makes XEN on x86 use the same mechanics as on e.g. ARM64 where
    deferred affinity setting is not required and not implemented and the code
    path in the ack functions is compiled out.
