Hidetoshi Seto 6e2ac66470 [PATCH] CPEI gets warning at kernel/irq/migration.c:27/move_masked_irq() 
While running my MCA test (hardware error injection) on 2.6.19,
I got some warning like following:

It comes from:

[kernel/irq/migration.c]
  26         if (CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU(desc->status)) {
  27                 WARN_ON(1);
  28                 return;
  29         }

By putting some printk in kernel, I found that irqbalance is trying to
move CPEI which is handled as PER_CPU irq. That's why.

CPEI(Corrected Platform Error Interrupt) is ia64 specific irq, is
allowed to pin to particular processor which selected by the platform, and
even it is PER_CPU but it has set_affinity handler (=iosapic_set_affinity)
as same as other IO-SAPIC-level interrupts. (I don't know why, but
I guess that there would be typical situation where the handler for
migration is needed, such as hotplug - the processor going to be
offline/hot-removed.)

To shut up this warning, there are 2 way at least:
 a) fix CPEI stuff
 b) prohibit setting affinity to PER_CPU irq

I'm not sure what stuff of CPEI need to be fixed, but I think that
returning error to attempting move PER_CPU irq is useful for all
applications since it will never work.

Following small patch takes b) style.
It works, the warning disappeared and irqbalance still runs well.
