Why are you saying it can't be used by the host? The stack should
be fully ready for it.

The only small piece missing is a way to set the IRQ affinity from the kernel,
but that can be simulated from user space by tweaking them in /proc. If you 
have a prototype patch adding the kernel interfaces wouldn't be that hard 
neither.

Also how about per CPU TX completion interrupts?
