       - Better spreading to NUMA nodes in the affinity management
    
       - Support for more than one set of interrupts to spread out to allow
         separate queues for separate functionality of a single device.
    
       - Decouple the non queue interrupts from being managed. Those are
         usually general interrupts for error handling etc. and those should
         never be shut down. This also a preparation to utilize the
         spreading mechanism for initial spreading of non-managed interrupts
         later.
    
       - Make the single CPU target selection in the matrix allocator more
         balanced so interrupts won't accumulate on single CPUs in certain
         situations.
    
       - A large spell checking patch so we don't end up fixing single typos
         over and over.
