Patch 5 will add 4 new sets for supporting NVMe's weighted round robin
arbitration. It can be a headache to manage so many irq sets(now the total
sets can become 6) dynamically since size of anyone in the new 4 sets can
be zero, so each particular set is assigned one static index for avoiding
the management trouble, then empty set will be seen by
irq_create_affinity_masks().

So looks skipping the empty set makes sense because the API will become
easier to use than before.

Thanks,
Ming
