Remove these recently-added warnings. They don't tell us anythng very interesting and Kumar says "On an embedded PPC reference system I see this message 6 times when I've got no cards in the PCI slots."

IRQ-affinity.txt
SMP IRQ affinity, started by Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
/proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity specifies which target CPUs are permitted
for a given IRQ source. It's a bitmask of allowed CPUs. It's not allowed
to turn off all CPUs, and if an IRQ controller does not support IRQ
affinity then the value will not change from the default 0xffffffff.
Here is an example of restricting IRQ44 (eth1) to CPU0-3 then restricting
the IRQ to CPU4-7 (this is an 8-CPU SMP box):
[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity
ffffffff
[root@moon 44]# echo 0f > smp_affinity
[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity
