What did the hack line say? Was the value 1, 2, something completly
random?

I spoke with Keir a bit and he mentioned that there was a major
rework of the IRQs in 4.0, wherein we would store the IRQs per CPU
structure. That is instead of having a "globally" accessible irq structure
wherein CPUs might contend for it. The folks at Intel did this so they might
have a better idea - and I can dig up from the hg annotate logs who they
are and we can ask them. But before we go that route, the other idea was
try to disable the irq balance code. Try passing in 'noirqbalance' and see what 
happens
then.
