Ok.

The reason of this change is explained in PATCH 2.

I have two patches, one to change the interface with no functional change (PATCH 1) and
one to fix the problem (PATCH 2). Moreover they don't cover the same subsystems.

I can either:
- merge the two patches
- or make a reference in the changelog of PATCH 1 to PATCH 2
  (something like "(see folowing patch "powerpc/pseries: pass MSI affinity to
   irq_create_mapping()")")
- or copy some information from PATCH 2
  (something like "this parameter is needed by rtas_setup_msi_irqs() to pass the affinity
   to irq_domain_alloc_descs() to fix multiqueue affinity")

What do you prefer?

Thanks,
Laurent
