the pci-express variants are, but the functionality is almost always disabled (and relatively new anyway). even with multiqueue, you can still have only a single irq line (which defeats the purpose of course mostly). >, so while the above > shows that interrupts from eth0 have been processed on both CPUs at > various points in the past, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are > being processed on both CPUs at the same time right? never will, an irq can only be processed on one cpu at a time anyway, obviously the irq here has been migrated ONCE from one of the cpu's to the other. unfortunately you can't see from /proc/interrupts whether this happens frequently or not, or how many times it happened before.
