Because of the current design idea, it is easier to keep things inside
the mana driver code here. As the idea of IRQ distribution here is :
1)Loop through interrupts to assign CPU
2)Find non sibling online CPU from local NUMA and assign the IRQs
on them.
3)If number of IRQs is more than number of non-sibling CPU in that
NUMA node, then assign on sibling CPU of that node.
4)Keep doing it till all the online CPUs are used or no more IRQs.
5)If all CPUs in that node are used, goto next NUMA node with CPU.
Keep doing 2 and 3.
6) If all CPUs in all NUMA nodes are used, but still there are IRQs
then wrap over from first local NUMA node and continue
doing 2, 3 4 till all IRQs are assigned.
