The IPI domain re-purposes the IRQ affinity to signify the mask of CPUs that this IPI will deliver to. This must not be modified before the IPI is destroyed again, so set the IRQ_NO_BALANCING flag to prevent the affinity being overwritten by setup_affinity(). Without this, if an IPI is reserved for a single target CPU, then allocated using __setup_irq(), the affinity is overwritten with cpu_online_mask. When ipi_destroy() is subsequently called on a multi-cpu system, it will attempt to free cpumask_weight() IRQs that were never allocated, and crash.
