One day, we may want to change this. For one, on a SMP system with 2 NICs,
one might want each of the NICs delever their interrupt to a separate (but
for each NIC always the same) CPU. (less lock-contention and cache polution).
I don't know if this can cause deadlocks, though.
Greetings,
Arjan van de Ven
