Frankly speaking, I never observed that single CPU is saturated by one storage
completion queue's interrupt load. Because CPU is still much quicker than
current storage device. 

If there are more drives, one CPU won't handle more than one queue(drive)'s
interrupt if (nr_drive * nr_hw_queues) < nr_cpu_cores.

So could you describe your case in a bit detail? Then we can confirm
if this change is really needed.

I remembered that performance drop is observed by this approach in some
test.


Thanks,
