That was another main point, yes. And the endpoints should be as

Thats right. This will be made a non issue with early demuxing
on the NIC and MSI (or was it MSI-X?) which will select
the right CPU based on hardware channels.
MSI-X. with MSI you still have only one cpu handling all MSI interrupts and
that doesn't look any different than ordinary interrupts. MSI-X will allow
much better interrupt handling across several cpu's.
