FIX: irqbalance settings
By default irqbalance should be honoring isolcpu settings but as of latest finding IRQs are distributed ad-hoc even if irqbalance is: - enabled: with default settings - disabled: by configuration - disabled: as a service - enabled: with incorrect mask This patch brings explicit configuration of IRQBALANCE_BANNED_CPUS with mask large enough to cover all cores and keeps IRQ to be processed by core 0.
