But wouldn't _all_ of the driver's intr threads inherit the last 
pinning, whatever it was?  I'm saying that on 8.2 the 9 different 
threads used to bind to different CPUs automatically (provided enough 
CPUs were available) but now they all bind to the same CPU.

Anyway I'll try out the rev you pointed at then we'll work backwards 
towards an explanation if it works :-)
