Dont try RPS on multiqueue devices !

If number of queues matches CPU numbers, it brings nothing but extra
latencies !

Benny, I am not sure your irqbalance is up2date with multiqueue devices,
you might need to disable it and manually irqaffine each interrupt

echo 01 >/proc/irq/100/smp_affinity
echo 02 >/proc/irq/101/smp_affinity
echo 04 >/proc/irq/102/smp_affinity
echo 08 >/proc/irq/103/smp_affinity
echo 10 >/proc/irq/104/smp_affinity
echo 20 >/proc/irq/105/smp_affinity
echo 40 >/proc/irq/106/smp_affinity
echo 80 >/proc/irq/107/smp_affinity

echo 01 >/proc/irq/108/smp_affinity
echo 02 >/proc/irq/109/smp_affinity
echo 04 >/proc/irq/110/smp_affinity
echo 08 >/proc/irq/111/smp_affinity
echo 10 >/proc/irq/112/smp_affinity
echo 20 >/proc/irq/113/smp_affinity
echo 40 >/proc/irq/114/smp_affinity
echo 80 >/proc/irq/115/smp_affinity
