Hello Christoph,

Is my interpretation correct that for an adapter that supports two 
interrupts and on a system with eight CPU cores and no hyperthreading 
this patch series will assign interrupt vector 0 to CPU 0 and interrupt 
vector 1 to CPU 1? Are you aware that drivers like ib_srp assume that 
interrupts have been spread evenly, that means assigning vector 0 to CPU 
0 and vector 1 to CPU 4?

Thanks,

Bart.
