[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 1/3] x86/HPET: obtain proper lock for changing IRQ affinity

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

The IRQ descriptor lock should be held while adjusting the affinity of
any IRQ; the HPET channel lock isn't sufficient to protect namely
against races with moving the IRQ to a different CPU.
