Hi Thomas,

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a function to allow the affinity of an interrupt be switched to
managed, such that interrupts allocated for platform devices may be
managed.

Thomas, I just made you author since you provided the original code, hope
it's ok.

I already forgot about this.

We needed some changes to go in to make the block CPU hotplug handling usable for some scsi drivers, which took a while.

And in fact I only gave you a broken
example. So just make yourself the author and add Suggested-by: tglx.


ok, will repost with that, cheers

Vs. merging. I'd like to pick that up myself as I might have other
changes in that area coming up.

I'll do it as a single commit on top of rc1 and tag it so the scsi
people can just pull it in.

I guess it's ok, I will defer to the maintainers on that.

Thanks,
John
