That commit is already the head of the irq/numa branch in the tip tree
(it is also on the irq/core branch).

Please merge that rather than cherry-picking the commit as that will
minimise the possibility of conflicts. Pulling the irq/numa branch will
get you just that one fixup commit (as you have already merged up to the
immediately preceding commit).

I assume this makes sense, Thomas? I just did a merge of the actual
fixup commit after merging the net tree.
