irqbalance affinity problem

On our server with 32 cores we see this in /var/log/syslog.

May 5 12:26:28 kbase /usr/sbin/irqbalance: irq 104 affinity_hint subset empty
May 5 12:26:28 kbase /usr/sbin/irqbalance: irq 105 affinity_hint subset empty

May 5 12:26:38 kbase /usr/sbin/irqbalance: irq 102 affinity_hint subset empty
May 5 12:26:38 kbase /usr/sbin/irqbalance: irq 103 affinity_hint subset empty

May 5 12:26:38 kbase /usr/sbin/irqbalance: irq 105 affinity_hint subset empty

I have seen a related bugreport on Ubuntu(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/irqbalance/+bug/1328556), but I am not convinced that the solution it suggests is the correct one. What will be the effect if I put

HINTPOLICY=ignore

in /etc/default/irqbalance

on the system?
