I think it's a factor of your chipset. For example, my laptop:
$ grep MSI /proc/interrupts
26: 33095 33046 PCI-MSI-edge eth0
27: 127014 126190 PCI-MSI-edge ahci
28: 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge ahci
29: 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge ahci
31: 525988 518310 PCI-MSI-edge iwlagn
I know my G33-based desktop also distributes interrupts equally across
all four cores. It is, of course, possibly to manually set the
affinity, and perhaps that's what you're seeing.

It's good to know somebody looked at patches 2-6 because I've not had
any comments yet.
