Currently the driver assumes that CPU 0 is handling all the hard IRQs.
This is wrong in Linux SMP systems where user is allowed to assign to
hardware IRQs to any CPU. The driver will stop working if user sets
smp_affinity so that interrupts end up being handled by other than CPU
0. The patch fixes that.

The fact that you have to manually enable irqs here indicates that the patch is not good.

Either the enable_irq() is unnecessary, or you broke the logic for enabling NAPI on more than one CPU.

I am not sure which is the case, but I think it would be best if you supplied a fixed patch set that corrects whichever happens to be the case.
