Looking at the code, I found out that this is _already_ being done; through
setting affinities of interrupts. If you can get the bitmask right in
/proc/irq/[IRQ#]/smp_affinity, you can change the distribution of interrupts
(furthermore, potentially disable a particular IRQ altogether a particular
CPU).
Sorry for the noise,
Livio
