What does this all mean to my GigE (dual 1.1 GHz 7455s)? Is this
thing supposed to be able to spread irq between its cpus?

Networking interrupts should lock onto a single CPU, unconditionally.
That's the optimal way to handle networking interrupts, especially
with multiqueue chips.

What about something like the Cavium Octeon, where we have 16 cores but a single core isn't powerful enough to keep up with a gigE device?
