Hypothesis: it isn't doing so, RX is only happening on cpus (and
queues) 0-15, but the other CPUs are still sending traffic and
thus getting TX completion interrupts from their TX queues.
`ethtool -S` output has per-queue traffic stats which should
confirm this.
(But Eric is right that if you _want_ RX to use every CPU you
should just change the indirection table.)
