I'm trying to find the easiest way to to deidcate one CPU to responding
to a specific Interrupt request.
That CPU should only listen for that request while all other CPU should
ignore the interrupt.

Any suggestions? Do I have to muck with the IO_APIC or is there a
simpler way which I just missed?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

cat /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity

There you can select on which if the 32 CPUs Linux should handle
this IRQ.

Read Documentation/IRQ-affinity.txt for more.
