node 1 free: 456864 MB
node distances:
node   0   1
  0:  10  21

and I want to spread the IRQs in numa0 node first with 
CPU0 - IRQ0
CPU2 - IRQ1
CPU4 - IRQ2
CPU6 - IRQ3
---
---
---
CPU94 - IRQ47
then
CPU1 - IRQ48
CPU3 - IRQ49
CPU32 - IRQ64

In a topology where NUMA0 has 20 cores and NUMA1 has 20 cores, with total 80 CPUS, there I want
CPU0 - IRQ0
CPU2 - IRQ1
CPU4 - IRQ2
---
---
---
CPU38 - IRQ19
Then
CPU1 - IRQ20
CPU3 - IRQ21
---
---
CPU39 - IRQ39
Node1
CPU40 - IRQ40
CPU42 - IRQ41
CPU44 - IRQ42
---
CPU78 - IRQ58
CPU41 - IRQ59
CPU43 - IRQ60
---
---
CPU49 - IRQ64
 

Exisitng code : 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/microsoft/mana/gdma_main.c#L1246

This uses cpumask_local_spread, so in a system where node has 64 cores, it spreads all 64+1 IRQs on
33 cores, rather than spreading it only on HT cores.
