I am seeing different problems. 

The fuzz value was one but that was due to the fact that the spapr 
backend did not set the chip_id of the xive_irq_data. I should have 
fix that now. But in some other situations, the weight of the 
'affinity' mask is 2048 (and 'nr_cpu_ids') and that also breaks 
the 'first' calculation. 

I am currently tracking this with the xive support for spapr. I will 
send a fix with the patchset.

Thanks,

C.
