Let me ask a question which probably has an obvious answer... why do you care to balance the irq on the siblings of a single CPU? Is there some hidden value I totally miss? Noting that WBEL-3.0 balances all of the interrupts *except* NICs, I am sure I don't understand the benefits of balancing between siblings, but I'm sure someone will enlighten me. -- bill davidsen CTO, TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with little computers since 1979. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
