Reviewing the first patch, xics_set_affinity no longer looks at the
cpu_mask arg, instead get_irq_server reads it from the irq descriptor.

I don't have a system to test hotplug, so this is only compile tested.
A more complete fix might be to pass the cpu_mask struct to get_irq_server,
but kernel/irq/manage.c currently sets the descriptor first.
