Yes, it is running, I also putted a heavy load with around 10000 interrupt
per second to see if it changes the number but the output is still like
this:

#cat /proc/interrupts
        CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3       CPU4       CPU5
CPU6       CPU7   
98:   78484912          0          0          0          0          0
0          0         PCI-MSI  eth0
106:   79396962          0          0          0          0          0
0          0         PCI-MSI  eth1

After 1 Sec:
        CPU0       CPU1       CPU2       CPU3       CPU4       CPU5
CPU6       CPU7   
98:   78500792          0          0          0          0          0
0          0         PCI-MSI  eth0
106:  79396970          0          0          0          0          0
0          0         PCI-MSI  eth1


The interesting point is that the value of affinity mask changes frequently,
when I set it to FFFFFFFF it is FF for some seconds and then it changes to
other values like 02 04 08 !

Hmmm, have you checked that irqbalance is indeed running?
