Subject: [PATCH linux-next v2 2/2] ixgbe: Example usage of the new IRQ
	affinity_hint callback

This patch uses the new IRQ affinity_hint callback mechanism.
It serves purely as an example of how a low-level driver can
utilize this new interface.

An official ixgbe patch will be pushed through netdev once the
IRQ patches have been accepted and merged.
