No, I don't think it is correct. We still need to consider smp_affinity.

fixup_irqs
        irq_set_affinity(native_ioapic_set_affinity)
                __ioapic_set_affinity
                        assign_irq_vector
                                __assign_irq_vector
                        cpu_mask_to_apicid_and
                /* now begin to set ioapic RET */

__assign_irq_vector(int irq, struct irq_cfg *cfg, const struct cpumask *mask)
{
...
        apic->vector_allocation_domain(cpu, tmp_mask, mask);
...
        for_each_cpu_and(new_cpu, tmp_mask, cpu_online_mask)
                per_cpu(vector_irq, new_cpu)[vector] = irq;
        cfg->vector = vector;
        cpumask_copy(cfg->domain, tmp_mask);
...
}

On same vecotr on all related vector_irq, irq is set. So such kind of
irq should happen in multiple vector_irq. In cpu_mask_to_apicid_and(e.g.
x2apic_cpu_mask_to_apicid_and for cluster mode), apic is updated
depending on new mask. That's why I think this kind of interrupt
should be bypassed.
