Hi,

Is there any work around possible to set IRQ affinity for some GPIO interrupt ?
How to avoid CPU0 to receive the current GPIO interrupt ?
How do we assign GPIO interrupts to any CPU other than CPU0 ?
Is it possible to isolate CPU0 for a sometime, from my GPIO driver so
that GPIO interrupt can be served by another CPU ?

Need your inputs to decide whether it is still possible to set
affinity for GPIO interrupt, or its impossible ?


Thanks,
Pintu
