I think it's a factor of your chipset. For example, my laptop:
$ grep MSI /proc/interrupts 26: 33095 33046 PCI-MSI-edge eth0 27: 127014 126190 PCI-MSI-edge ahci 28: 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge ahci 29: 0 0 PCI-MSI-edge ahci 31: 525988 518310 PCI-MSI-edge iwlagn
I know my G33-based desktop also distributes interrupts equally across all four cores. It is, of course, possibly to manually set the affinity, and perhaps that's what you're seeing.

It's good to know somebody looked at patches 2-6 because I've not had any comments yet.
