Christoph or Ming, any ideas here?
In looking at the aacraid code, I don't see anywhere that this is using
a specific cpu number for queues or anything, but I could be wrong.
Ideally this should also be failing in 4.17 or 4.18-rc right now as well
as I don't see anything that would have "fixed" this recently. Unless
I'm missing something here?
