Re: [net-next 02/11] igb: Use node specific allocations for the q_vectors and rings

This change is meant to update the ring and vector allocations so that they
are per node instead of allocating everything on the node that
ifconfig/modprobe is called on.  By doing this we can cut down
significantly on cross node traffic.

adapter->node seems superfluous.

It's always "-1" when we enter the allocation functions, and we
always restore it to it's original value upon exit from such
functions.

Just get rid of it and use a local variable in these functions
to keep track of the current allocation node.

Also, what ensures that MSI-X interrupts are targetted to a cpu
on the the node where you've made these allocations?  I was
pretty sure Ben Hutchings added infrastructure that's usable
to ensure this, but I can't see where you're using it.
