irq_choose_cpu() should compare the affinity mask against cpu_online_map
rather than CPU_MASK_ALL, since irq_select_affinity() sets the interrupt's
affinity mask to cpu_online_map "and" CPU_MASK_ALL (which ends up being
just cpu_online_map).  The mask comparison in irq_choose_cpu() will always
fail since the two masks are not the same.  So the CPU chosen is the first CPU
in the intersection of cpu_online_map and CPU_MASK_ALL, which is always CPU0.
That means all interrupts are reassigned to CPU0...

Distributing interrupts to CPUs in a linearly increasing round robin fashion
is not optimal for the UltraSPARC T1/T2.  Also, the irq_rover in
irq_choose_cpu() causes an interrupt to be assigned to a different
processor each time the interrupt is allocated and released.  This may lead
to an unbalanced distribution over time.

A static mapping of interrupts to processors is done to optimize and balance
interrupt distribution.  For the T1/T2, interrupts are spread to different
cores first, and then to strands within a core.

The following is some benchmarks showing the effects of interrupt
distribution on a T2.  The test was done with iperf using a pair of T5220
boxes, each with a 10GBe NIU (XAUI) connected back to back.

Applied to sparc-next-2.6, thanks a lot!

WRT. the NIU interrupt bug, I'm still thinking about how to make
further progress on that one.  I'll post a followup soon.
