setting the irq daemon off, I see that if I set the cpu affinity of the netperf
process to be as the one of the mlx4 irq I get fixed performance of 650 MB/s

If I set it to different CPU, then eventually I get 480MB/s constantly and
620MB/s constantly if is a different core on the same CPU...

HCA                     MB/s    msi_x   irqdaemon       netperf affinity
=======================================================================
ConnectX-ConnectX       620     0       on              none

ConnectX-ConnectX       620-850 1       on              none
ConnectX-ConnectX       650     1       off             same as irq
ConnectX-ConnectX       620     1       off             different core
ConnectX-ConnectX       480     1       off             different cpu
