Provide new interfaces:

  irq_update_affinity_hint() - Only sets the affinity hint pointer
  irq_apply_affinity_hint()  - Set the pointer and apply the affinity to
                               the interrupt

Any reason why you ruled out the usage of irq_set_affinity_and_hint()?
IMHO the latter makes it very clear what the function is meant to do.

You're right. I was trying to phase the existing hint setter out, but
that's probably pointless overengineering for no real value. Let me redo
that.

Thanks,
