#
# setting up irq affinity according to /proc/interrupts

#
# > Dave Miller:
# (To get consistent naming in /proc/interrups)
# I would suggest that people use something like:
#       char buf[IFNAMSIZ+6];
#
#       sprintf(buf, "%s-%s-%d",
#               netdev->name,
#               (RX_INTERRUPT ? "rx" : "tx"),
#               queue->index);
#
#  Assuming a device with two RX and TX queues.
#  This script will assign: 
#
#       eth0-rx-0  CPU0
#       eth0-rx-1  CPU1
#       eth0-tx-0  CPU0
#       eth0-tx-1  CPU1
#
