Which kind of machine? x86?

If that driver creates only a single managed interrupt, then the
possible affinity of that interrupt spawns CPUs 0 - 35.

That's expected, but what is the effective affinity of that interrupt?

# cat /proc/irq/$N/effective_affinity

Also please provide the full output of

# cat /proc/interrupts

and point out which device we are talking about.

Thanks,
