I wonder if folks agree that in this case we should revert 84676c1f21e8 genirq/affinity: assign vectors to all possible CPUs for v4.16. If this was a minor niche use-case regression the -stable scenario would probably be OK. But the patch seem to miss the fact that kernel's "possible CPUs" notion may be way off and side effects are bad. Christoph, Thomas, what do you think? Thanks, Artem.
