The drivers currently rely on irq_set_affinity_hint() to either set the
affinity_hint that is consumed by the userspace and/or to enforce a custom
affinity.

irq_set_affinity_hint() as the name suggests is originally introduced to
only set the affinity_hint to help the userspace in guiding the interrupts
and not the affinity itself. However, since the commit

        e2e64a932556 "genirq: Set initial affinity in irq_set_affinity_hint()"

  genirq: Provide new interfaces for affinity hints

Any suggestions on what should be the next steps here? Unfortunately, I haven't
been able to get any reviews on the following two patches:
  be2net: Use irq_update_affinity_hint
  hinic: Use irq_set_affinity_and_hint

One option would be to proceed with the remaining patches and I can try
posting these two again when I post patches for the remaining drivers?
