Hyper-V engineers never want to make our lifes easier :-)

I can only think of a 'lazy' approach to setting channel CPU affinity:
we actually re-assign it to the target CPU when we receive first
interrupt there - but it's not very different from re-assigning it there
but still handling interrupts on the old CPU like you do.

One more thing: it was already discussed several times but we never get
to it. I think this question was even raised on Michael's latest
'Hyper-V on ARM' submission. What about implmenting a Hyper-V specific
IRQ chip which would now support setting CPU affinity? The greatest
benefit is that we don't need new tools to do e.g. load balancing,
irqbalance will just work.
