Hi!
Powertop tells me that irqbalance is obsolete/burns too much power,
while it is default Y and its help test does not provide any clues:
Enable kernel irq balancing (IRQBALANCE) [Y/n/?] (NEW) ?
The default yes will allow the kernel to do irq load balancing.
Saying no will keep the kernel from doing irq load balancing.
...should the help text be updated?
Pavel

that and the feature should probably be put in feature-removal
