It isn't immediately obvious to me. If the regression is present in 2.6.27 or earlier, do you think we should backport the fix? If so, a different patch would be needed due to the presence of commit 08678b0841267c1d00d771fe01548d86043d065e Author: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com> Date: Tue Aug 19 20:50:05 2008 -0700 generic: sparse irqs: use irq_desc() together with dyn_array, instead of irq_desc[]

I will back port a patch to 2.6.27. Thomas has provided me a better patch that handles a few critical issues that mine doesn't. I'll be testing it this evening and will backport to 2.6.27 if it works out. - k

The default affinity should be set when the irq is allocated / assigned to a device, not when it's requested. Ben.
