Souradeep investigated that the driver performs faster if IRQs are
spread on CPUs with the following heuristics:

1. No more than one IRQ per CPU, if possible;
2. NUMA locality is the second priority;
3. Sibling dislocality is the last priority.

Let's consider this topology:

Node            0               1
Core        0       1       2       3
CPU       0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7

The most performant IRQ distribution based on the above topology
and heuristics may look like this:

IRQ     Nodes   Cores   CPUs
0       1       0       0-1
1       1       1       2-3
2       1       0       0-1
3       1       1       2-3
4       2       2       4-5
5       2       3       6-7
6       2       2       4-5
7       2       3       6-7

The irq_setup() routine introduced in this patch leverages the
for_each_numa_hop_mask() iterator and assigns IRQs to sibling groups
as described above.

According to [1], for NUMA-aware but sibling-ignorant IRQ distribution
based on cpumask_local_spread() performance test results look like this:

./ntttcp -r -m 16

For NUMA- and sibling-aware IRQ distribution, the same test works
15% faster:
