I'll throw my hat in here as well. This is an old compaq proliant I
have at the office- dual 400 PII, booted with "noirqbalance" 2.6.0-test11:

CPU0 CPU1
0: 2580383 1920931 IO-APIC-edge timer
1: 6 3 IO-APIC-edge i8042
2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 467 423 IO-APIC-level TLAN
8: 1 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc
9: 15 15 IO-APIC-level sym53c8xx
10: 17 17 IO-APIC-level sym53c8xx
11: 1602 1593 IO-APIC-level ida0
14: 8 2 IO-APIC-edge ide0
NMI: 0 0
LOC: 4501366 4501354
ERR: 0
MIS: 0

witout "noirqbalance" we interrupt on CPU0 solely.
