When mapping a LPI, the ITS driver picks the first possible affinity, which is in most cases CPU0, assuming that if that's not suitable, someone will come and set the affinity to something more interesting. It apparently isn't the case, and people complain of poor performance when many interrupts are glued to the same CPU. So let's place the interrupts by finding the "least loaded" CPU (that is, the one that has the fewer LPIs mapped to it). So called 'managed' interrupts are an interesting case where the affinity is actually dictated by the kernel itself, and we should honor this.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
