I can if I cast away the const. However I see a lot of:

cpumask_copy(irq_data_get_affinity_mask(d), foo);

which I suppose is a great reason not to do what I am doing. The right solution
seems to be adding irq_data_update_affinity() to match
irq_data_update_effective_affinity(), and making both getters return a const
cpumask. Then I can use cpumask_of(0).

Regards,
Samuel
