Yes. The idea here was to force the MSI migration to happen in process
context. One of the patches in the series did

        disable_irq(dev->irq);
        irq_set_affinity(dev->irq, cpumask_of(dev->cpu));
        enable_irq(dev->irq);

with the above patch adding irq/manage code check for interrupt disabled
and moving the interrupt in process context.

IIRC, there was no IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT when we were developing this HPET
code and we ended up having this ugly hack. IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT was there
when we eventually submitted the patch upstream. But, looks like I did a
blind rebasing instead of using IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT in hpet MSI code.

Below patch fixes this. i.e., revert commit 932775a4ab622e3c99bd59f14cc
and add PCNTXT to HPET MSI setup. Also removes copying of desc->affinity
in generic code as set_affinity routines are doing it internally.
