Thank you for notice of 2.6.29.r-rt16 release.
This is a report about "/proc/interrupts" result in my development system.
* System requirements :
Core2 Quad Q6600 , LV-676 Motherboard , SATA 160G, DDR2 3G ,
ftp://ftp.commell.com.tw/COMMELL/support/LV-676/BIOS/676x161.zip.
In summary, I can't get irq loadbalancing(/proc/interrupts) in my system using
2.6.29.4-rt16 linux kernel because of LV-676 motherboard's H/W problem.
( I disabled [ ]irqbalance - userspace with "ntsysv" command in this
experiment . )

So, I asked Commell company about this problems.
For reference, Belows is answer from their technical service team.

Hi
Sorry for keep you waiting.
We had setn LV-676 motherboard to BIOS vendor for solution,
still now no resond yet, any respond will pass to you.
We had constantly push for solution, and BIOS vendor is working on this
issue and attempt to solve this problem,
any message from them will let you know.

K.H. Ooi
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, I am using "smp_affinity" in this LV-676 mother board like belows.
Binary Hex
CPU 0 0001 1
CPU 1 0010 2
CPU 2 0100 4
CPU 3 1000 8
[geunsik@...tos5.3 ~]$
[geunsik@...tos5.3 ~]$ echo 8 > /proc/irq/18/smp_affinity
[geunsik@...tos5.3 ~]$ for i in `ls -1 /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity`; do
echo "smp affinity CPU3 +++ $i"; echo 8 > $i; done <-- assign irq
to CPU3
[geunsik@...tos5.3 ~]$ cat /proc/interrupts <---check irq-balancing
* Don't use irq affinity about timer irq
[geunsik@...tos5.3 ~]$ echo 8 > /proc/irq/0/smp_affinity
-bash: echo: write error: Input/output error
