Allright, so that's an out of tree userland thingy... (which may well
work on ppc too I suppose). Definitely not installed by default by my
distro so IRQs from the network cards on all x86's using ubuntu gutsy at
least are spread to all CPUs :-)
But the thing does treat network interfaces differently from
other devices.
and it works on various architectures....
The in-kernel x86 thing is going away (it's actually highly
suboptimal)....
Yes it's done in userland, this is the right place so far.... out of
tree... well... there's no good place for such userspace tools in the
kernel tree currently otherwise I'd love to have it there.
If your distro doesn't install this by default, please file a bug
against the distro; I know we (Intel) worked with Fedora, RHEL, SuSE
and Ubuntu to get it included.... maybe others don't?
