Otherwise, we get a debug traceback due to the use of
smp_processor_id() (or get_paca()) inside hard_smp_processor_id().
mpic_host_map() is just looking for a default CPU, so it doesn't matter
if we migrate after getting the CPU ID.

Any reason you didn't stick this inside of mpic_processor_id() ?

Because the debug check might be valid for other callers and we don't
want to defeat it.  In this caller it's used only as a heuristic and
thus it doesn't matter if we re-enable preemption before using the
result.

Gotcha, I think you should reword the commit message.  Reading it makes me think that preemption should be disabled for all mpic_processor_id() calls.

It should be disabled for all mpic_processor_id() calls -- but some
calls will need preemption to be disabled for longer than just the call
to mpic_processor_id().

I did mention in the commit message why mpic_host_map() is unusual.

BTW, I wonder why we don't use mpic_set_affinity (and thus
irq_choose_cpu), both here and in the non-MPIC_NO_RESET case.  Though I
usually notice IRQs being round robinned -- I guess userspace is writing
to the affinity in proc?  Or is something elsewhere in the kernel
calling set_affinity at some point?

Another thing I just noticed while looking at IRQ_DESTINATION-related
code, in mpic_teardown_this_cpu(), what stops it from removing the only
CPU that an interrupt is targeted at?
