The only way the nvme driver's interrupt handler can saturate a
cpu requires the smp_affinity have multiple online cpus set. The
effective_affinity, however, is always a single cpu, which can be any
of the online ones set in smp_affinity.

If we can detect a cpu is spending too many cycles in nvme irq,
perhaps we can re-spread the effective_affinity to different cpus. I
don't currently know of a good way to do this, though.
