This time around IRQ44 was delivered only to the last four processors.
i.e counters for the CPU0-3 did not change.
+Note that you have to split the bitmask to chunks when using more that 32 cpus:
+[root@moon 44]# echo 80,00000000 > smp_affinity
+[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity
+80,00000000
+
Here is an example of limiting that same irq (44) to cpus 1024 to 1031:
[root@moon 44]# echo 1024-1031 > smp_affinity_list
