When looking at /proc/interrupts from time to time, I have only seen interrupts landing on the first CPU of the set. We could also distinguish between AMD and Intel ... AMD should deliver to the highest APIC ID. (If we still need to decide after focus processor and APR checks.) I'll try to check using a more trustworthy approach. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
