The idea is pretty similar, only change is that if there are enough cpu
cores in the NUMA node, then no more than one IRQ per core, if possible.
So the behaviour will be :
1. no more than one IRQ per core, if possible.
2. No more than one IRQ per CPU, if possible
3. NUMA locality is the second priority;
4. Sibling dislocality is the last priority;

Thanks for the suggestion, but as mentioned by me above, that if enough
cores are available in a numa noed, then will assign one IRQ per core, rather
than each CPU. That is the reason we are moving away from using cpumask_local_spread().
As it assign in every cpu in the numa, irrespective of if there are enough cores
to accomodate the IRQs. That is why I am first trying to assign one irq per core
till all the cores in the NUMA node are used.

Yes, I had done multiple perf analysis using ntttcp and we got approximately
12-15 percent improvement.

I will share the V5 patch soon, which does fix the mask issue from V4 and
also tries to assign IRQ0 to separate CPU if enough CPUs are available.
