I wanted to kill these callbacks years ago. Cavium has two variants of
those offline/online callbacks:

 1) octeon_irq_cpu_offline_ciu() which is doing the same as that BCM
    driver. These really can go away. Just remove the callback and
    everything just works.

 2) Two other variants to fiddle with chip internals, but those chips do
    not have an irq_affinity() callback which makes it more interesting.

    I don't see a proper way to solve that except for removing Cavium
    alltogether, but once the BCM one is gone, we just can make this
    muck depend on CAVIUM and be done with it. And I mean depend and not
    select.

Thanks,
