So I tested on NVMe, and it showed a good performance boost - maybe ~20%
for 2x NVMe disks on my D06. But a couple of comments below:

Thanks,

should this use cpumask_equal()?

I wonder if we should only consider managed interrupts in this accounting?

So cpu0 is effectively going to be excluded from the balancing, as it
will have so many lpis targeted.

And, for the others, even if we balance all the LPIs, won't irqbalance
(if running, obviously) can come along and fiddle with these non-managed
interrupt affinities anyway?
