Since commit 65c7cdedeb30 ("genirq: Provide new interfaces for affinity
hints") irq_set_affinity_hint is being phased out.
Switch to new interfaces for setting and applying irq affinity hints.

v2:
- Leave cpumask_copy as is. We can't pass pointer to stack memory as hint.
Proposed a change to IRQ affinity interface to address this limitation:

Just a note to the ^ - if we wanted to get rid of msix_affinity_masks,
we could call irq_set_affinity directly, instead of calling it through
irq_set_affinity[_and]_hint.
The hint wouldn't be available any more in /proc/irq/N/affinity_hint,
but the same information can be gathered from /proc/irq/N/smp_affinity.

So we are potentially breaking some userspace - what's the value we
gain? Is there some way we can make disable_irq/enable_irq work?
That would have a lot of value.
There is an actual need for that in virtio for coco but we can't use
these APIs with affinity managed IRQs.

Sorry, that is beyond my ken today.
I saw the comment in vp_modern_disable_vq_and_reset:
/* For the case where vq has an exclusive irq, call synchronize_irq() to
* wait for completion.
*
* note: We can't use disable_irq() since it conflicts with the affinity
* managed IRQ that is used by some drivers.
*/
... but I fail to follow how the two conflict.
Perhaps Xuah could shed some light here.
