Currently when non boot CPUs comes up and if setting of IRQ affinity gets called
before cpu online status gets updated, gic_mpidr_to_affinity() returns
undesirable cpu number. Using __force__ flag ignore cpu_online_mask and setup
the intended cpu affinity for the irq.

The same approch is used in gicv2
(commit: ffde1de64012c: irqchip: Gic: Support forced affinity setting)

Thanks Marc for above link. Is this already queued in some tree? I can't find this is linux-next.
