Ha! After staring some more, it's not required at all, which is the most
elegant solution.
The vector check is pointless in that condition because there is never a
condition where an interrupt is moved from vector A to vector B on the
same CPU.
That's a left over from the old allocation model which supported
multi-cpu affinities, but this was removed as it just created trouble
for no real benefit.
Today the effective affinity which is a single CPU out of the requested
affinity. If an affinity mask change still contains the current target
CPU then there is no move happening at all. It just stays on that vector
on that CPU.
Thanks,
