[ofw] [PATCH] affinity options

[Slava Strebkov]

Zero (0) specifies a system default affinity - the default choice.

Last CPU mask has been chosen for customers to override default system
affinity and bind interrupt to last CPU without calculating bitmask.

I didn't see any response to the comments regarding the need to define
the special value of 0xFFFFFFFF.  Is there a reason why we can't just
use an index and let the user specify 0?  (I.e. Is there a reason why we
need a way to get the last cpu over the first?)

Done in rev. 1047, thank you.

	Hi,

	The following patch provides a way to user to specify the cpu
affinity mask.

	Setting the value of ProcessorAffinity to FFFFFFFF binds
interrupt to last cpu on machine.
