I dislike this statement for multiple reasons:

- it is written as a negation, making it harder than strictly
necessary to parse as it is the opposite of the comment above

- gic_irq_in_rdist() and gic_irq(d) >= 8192 are two ways of checking
the interrupt range -- maybe we should just do that

- cpumask_equal() is *slow* if you have more that 64 CPUs, something
that is increasingly common -- a better option would be to check
whether the current CPU is in the mask or not, which would be enough
as we only have a single affinity bit set

- smp_processor_id() can check for preemption, which is pointless
here, as we're doing things under the irq_desc raw spinlock.

I would expect something like:

enum gic_intid_range range = get_intid_range(d);

return (range == SGI_RANGE || range == ESPI_RANGE) &&
!cpumask_test_cpu(raw_smp_processor_id(),
irq_data_get_effective_affinity_mask(d));

Could this still hit on a system that traps WFI to EL3 and uses this
as a way to enter a low-power mode?

Thanks,
