genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)

Current IRQ affinity interface does not provide a way to set affinity
for the IRQs that will be allocated/activated in the future.
This patch creates /proc/irq/default_smp_affinity that lets users set
default affinity mask for the newly allocated IRQs. Changing the default
does not affect affinity masks for the currently active IRQs, they
have to be changed explicitly.

Updated based on Paul J's comments and added some more documentation.

+SMP IRQ affinity
 
 /proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity specifies which target CPUs are permitted
 for a given IRQ source. It's a bitmask of allowed CPUs. It's not allowed
 to turn off all CPUs, and if an IRQ controller does not support IRQ
 affinity then the value will not change from the default 0xffffffff.
 
+/proc/irq/default_smp_affinity specifies default affinity mask that applies
+to all non-active IRQs. Once IRQ is allocated/activated its affinity bitmask
+will be set to the default mask. It can then be changed as described above.
+Default mask is 0xffffffff.
+
 Here is an example of restricting IRQ44 (eth1) to CPU0-3 then restricting
-the IRQ to CPU4-7 (this is an 8-CPU SMP box):

 Of some interest is the introduction of the /proc/irq directory to 2.4.
 It could be used to set IRQ to CPU affinity, this means that you can "hook" an
 IRQ to only one CPU, or to exclude a CPU of handling IRQs. The contents of the
-irq subdir is one subdir for each IRQ, and one file; prof_cpu_mask
+irq subdir is one subdir for each IRQ, and two files; default_smp_affinity and
+prof_cpu_mask.

+smp_affinity is a bitmask, in which you can specify which CPUs can handle the
+IRQ, you can set it by doing:
 
-  > cat /proc/irq/0/smp_affinity 
-  ffffffff

+This means that only the first CPU will handle the IRQ, but you can also echo
+5 which means that only the first and fourth CPU can handle the IRQ.

 The way IRQs are routed is handled by the IO-APIC, and it's Round Robin
 between all the CPUs which are allowed to handle it. As usual the kernel has
