Hi Ahmed!

I put together a selftest for maintaining the affinity:
https://github.com/kuba-moo/linux/commit/de7d2475750ac05b6e414d7e5201e354b05cf146

It depends on a couple of selftest infra patches (in that branch) 
which I just posted to the list. But if you'd like you can use
it against your drivers.
