The mlx5 would allocate no less than one irq for per cpu, we can bond each
irq to a cpu to improve interrupt performance.

The maximum number of affinity set is hard coded to 4. in case nvec > 4
* (num_CPUs)[1]
we will hit the following WARN[2].
Also, we hit an oops following this WARN...
[1]
mlx5 support up to 2K MSIX (depends on the HW). e.g.: if we max out mlx5
MSIX capability,
we will cross this limit on any machine, at least that I know of.
[2]
This is a machine with 10 CPUs and 350 MSIX
