SubjectRegression? 2.6.0-test4{,-mm5} SMP interrupt distribution according to /proc/interrupts
Date
Please personally Cc: to me, for any additional information or responses to 
this post, I am not subscribed to kernel list.

Hardware is dual Athlon-MP, AMD762 chipset for most part 2.6.0-test has
performed well for me. I've noticed however according to /proc/interrupts,
CPU0 is getting all the interrupt service action (like when noapic is set),
is this expected?

516rob@ash$ cat proc_interrupts-2.6.0-test4-mm5

The CPU1 numbers don't seem to change, except 0: and LOC:. I have ACPI active
in both Gentoo with vanilla 2.6.0-test, 2.6.0-test-mm5 and 2.4.22, and also
under SuSE with their 2.4.20 kernel, 2.4 and 2.6 are consistent.

/proc/cmdline shows root=/dev/hde5 reboot=warm, using acpi=off option makes no
change in 2.6.

Under 2.4 kernels the interrupts are distributed :
