You're free to build bits of mainline against older kernels if you want 
to and can make it work, but understand that what you're doing in that 
case is a backport. It can be expected that some things need adjusting 
when backporting, and this happens to be one of them; go back far enough 
and the irq_set_affinity() call would be another, IIRC.

The code in mainline here is correct for the mainline kernel, so there 
is nothing to fix.

Thanks,
Robin.
