No driver has any business with the internals of an interrupt
descriptor. Storing a pointer to it just to use yet another helper at the
actual usage site to retrieve the affinity mask is creative at best. Just
because C does not allow encapsulation does not mean that the kernel has no
limits.

Retrieve a pointer to the affinity mask itself and use that. It's still
using an interface which is usually not for random drivers, but definitely
less hideous than the previous hack.

you can't blame the developers for using stuff from include/linux/
Not all developers are the same, and sometime we don't read in between
the lines, you can't assume all driver developers to be expert on irq
APIs disciplines.

your rules must be programmatically expressed, for instance,
you can just hide struct irq_desc and irq_to_desc() in kernel/irq/ and
remove them from include/linux/ header files, if you want privacy in
your subsystem, don't put all your header files on display under
include/linux.

as long as the affinity mask pointer stays the same for the lifetime of
the irq vector.
