Subject[PATCH v3 06/19] genirq: Add an extra comment about the use of affinity in irq_common_data
Date
Affinity will have dual meaning depends on the type of the irq. If it is
a normal irq, it'll have the standard affinity meaning.

If it is an IPI, it will hold the IPI mask of the cpus it can talk to.
