Do you mean on your old machine the irq will be distributed automatically 
among the cpus set by smp_affinity?

Sorry, I forgot one thing that the irqbalance service will break the mask
set by smp_affinity. So I don't know if now we support the feature
that balance among the cpus set by smp_affinity.
 
In my old conception when we set smp_affinity the irqbalance service
should be stopped, so you are right before, and the kernel will choose
one cpu in your mask for the IRQ and bounded from now on if there is no
irqbalance service.

thanks,
