Hi Marc,

> +		int this_count = its_read_lpi_count(d, tmp);

Not sure if it's intentional, but now there seems to be a subtle 
difference to what Thomas described for non-managed interrupts - for 
non-managed interrupts, x86 selects the CPU based on the total interrupt 
load per CPU (or, more specifically, lowest vector allocation count), 
and not just the non-managed load. Or maybe I misread it.

Anyway, we can test this now for NVMe with its managed interrupts.

Cheers,
John
