Yes. The idea here was to force the MSI migration to happen in process
context. One of the patches in the series did

disable_irq(dev->irq);
irq_set_affinity(dev->irq, cpumask_of(dev->cpu));
enable_irq(dev->irq);

with the above patch adding irq/manage code check for interrupt disabled
and moving the interrupt in process context.

IIRC, there was no IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT when we were developing this HPET
code and we ended up having this ugly hack. IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT was there
when we eventually submitted the patch upstream. But, looks like I did a
blind rebasing instead of using IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT in hpet MSI code. That
was my fault. Will send a patch to fix this ugliness.

Thanks,
Venki
