Because irq_domain_alloc_descs() doesn't actually *take* the domain as
an argument. It's more of an internal function, which is only non-
static because it's used from kernel/irq/ipi.c too for some reason. If
we convert the IPI code to just call __irq_alloc_descs() directly,
perhaps that we can actually make irq_domain_alloc_decs() static.

I'm coming to the conclusion that we should allow unusable CPUs to be
specified at this point, just as we do offline CPUs. That's largely
driven by the realisation that our x86_non_ir_cpumask is only going to
contain online CPUs anyway, and hotplugged CPUs only get added to it as
they are brought online.

The memset is because there's no cpumask_var_t initialiser that I can
see. So cpumask_available() on the uninitialised 'default_affinity'
variable might be true even in the OFFSTACK case.

That's why there was a comment explaining it... at which point you
claimed to already know :)
Clearly the comment didn't do the job it was supposed to do. I'll
rework.
