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.
