Perhaps double check that irqbalance is not running the in guest, ps aux | grep
irqbalance.

Those patches are against git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git  I believe the BCM5716
will try to use MSI-X interrupts, not MSI.  Please provide lspci -vvv of the
device in the guest and we can verify what interrupt mode it's working in. 
What is the guest operating system?  Thanks.
