Something still seems off without effective_affinity set. That attribute
should always reflect one CPU from the smp_affinity_list.

At least with your patch, the smp_affinity_list looks as expected: every
CPU is accounted for, and no vector appears to share the resource among
CPUs in different nodes.

I suspect effective_affinity isn't getting set and interrupts are
triggering on unexpected CPUs. If you check /proc/interrupts, can you
confirm if the interrupts are firing on CPUs within the
smp_affinity_list or some other CPU?
