=2E..or an empty mask, both works.

Yes, it affects any Xenomai thread that doesn't specify an explicit
mask. And it forces all IRQs that are newly attached to the specified
affinity. You should be able to watch this under
/proc/irq/<n>/smp_affinity. That avoids e.g. that the NIC IRQ pops up on
CPU 0 but has to wake up the stack manager on CPU 1.
