Some drivers need an extra set of interrupts which should not be marked managed, but should get initial interrupt spreading. Add a bitmap to struct irq_affinity which allows the driver to mark a particular set of interrupts as non managed. Check the bitmap during spreading and use the result to mark the interrupts in the sets accordingly. The unmanaged interrupts get initial spreading, but user space can change their affinity later on. For the managed sets, i.e. the corresponding bit in the mask is not set, there is no change in behaviour. Usage example: struct irq_affinity affd = { .pre_vectors = 2, .unmanaged_sets = 0x02, .calc_sets = drv_calc_sets, }; .... For both interrupt sets the interrupts are properly spread out, but the second set is not marked managed.
