If this is per_cpu, wouldn't the comment 'CPU0 at' be improper?

Hmm, so we use percpu structure, but all of the event channel and such
are set for CPU0. So what is the benefit of this, when the interrupts
are _only_ happening on CPU0?

Oh, right, there is also the rebind cpu function somewhere so that the
spinlock, timers, etc are allocated on other CPUs, right?
