Or left out because I didn't take time to actually look at the code to
much. It took me ~4 hours to whip this up (then a few more to debug and
test it).

You missed the call to set_balance_irq_affinity() and went poking in the
balancer itself.

I'll leave that to tglx and mingo and claim lack of clue.

Seems not unsafe, just not handling pending irqs.
