hi,

i'm currently testing a new server with 2x opteron-6128 with dual gigabit port
and observing that the igb driver uses only single core for all ethX interrupts.
is it a correct behaviour for this driver?

The CPU affinity for the IRQ isn't really under the driver's control. It looks like all your interrupts are being handled on CPU0. You likely need to run the irqbalance daemon.
