Hi,

 A patch to put names on the niu interrupt vectors according the syntax below. 
 This is needed to assign correct affinity.

 > 	eth0-rx-1
 > 	eth0-tx-0
 > 	eth0-tx-1

I have tested the patch and it also works on the Quad 1G SUN NIC.
I really like the idea behind the patch, as it makes it a lot easier to 
get the smp affinity right...

Hi,

on multiqueue hardware, isn't RSS meant to bind packets from the same flow on a specific cpu?

So, does it make sense to control RX smp affinity from /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity on multiqueue adapters with RSS support?

thanks,

Sebastien

Applied with some minor coding style fixups, thanks Robert.
