genirq/affinity: Introduce struct irq_affinity
Some drivers (various network and RDMA adapter for example) have a MSI-X vector layout where most of the vectors are used for I/O queues and should have CPU affinity assigned to them, but some (usually 1 but sometimes more) at the beginning or end are used for low-performance admin or configuration work and should not have any explicit affinity assigned to them. Add a new irq_affinity structure, which will be passed through a variant of pci_irq_alloc_vectors that allows to specify these requirements (and is extensible to any future quirks in that area) so that the core IRQ affinity algorithm can take this quirks into account.
