rg> for spotting this. There are a couple of ways to fix this but the simplest one is to just remove the assignments. The affinity field is only used to display a value to the user, and nothing on either i386 or x86_64 reads it or depends on it being any particlua value, so skipping the assignment is safe. The assignment that is being removed is just for the initial affinity value before the user explicitly sets it. The irq_desc array initializes this field to CPU_MASK_ALL so the field is initialized to a reasonable value in the SMP case without being set. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
