I'm not really certain who to cc on this one.

It appears the problem sequence is:
fork()
sched_setaffinity()

It got worse just because NR_IRQS doubled (and all of the associated
arrays doubled in size).

I haven't seen anyone reproduce this but Tim Chen, and Tim wasn't
able to root cause the problem so I believe we are going to have
this regression :(
