Ravikiran G Thirumalai e729aa16b1 Pad irq_desc to internode cacheline size
We noticed a drop in n/w performance due to the irq_desc being cacheline
aligned rather than internode aligned.  We see 50% of expected performance
when two e1000 nics local to two different nodes have consecutive irq
descriptors allocated, due to false sharing.

Note that this patch does away with cacheline padding for the UP case, as
it does not seem useful for UP configurations.
