"something", absolutely.  But there is benefit from doing some aggregation
(we tried disabling it entirely with the "well-known OLTP benchmark" and
performance went down).

Ideally we'd do something like "if the softirq is taking up more than 10%
of a core, split the grouping".  Do we have enough stats to do that kind
of monitoring?
