     ("ARM: GIC: avoid routing interrupts to offline CPUs")
    prevents the GIC from setting the affinity of an IRQ to a CPU with
    id >= nr_cpu_ids. This was previously abused by perf on some platforms
    where more IRQs were registered than possible CPUs.
    
    This patch fixes the problem by using a cpumask_t to keep track of the
    active (requested) interrupts in perf. The same effect could be achieved
    by limiting the number of IRQs to the number of CPUs, but using a mask
    instead will be useful for adding extended CPU hotplug support in the
    future.
