Subject: irqbalance considered obsolete by powertop

Hi!

Powertop tells me that irqbalance is obsolete/burns too much power,
while it is default Y and its help test does not provide any clues:

Enable kernel irq balancing (IRQBALANCE) [Y/n/?] (NEW) ?

The default yes will allow the kernel to do irq load balancing.
Saying no will keep the kernel from doing irq load balancing.

...should the help text be updated?
