title: Which processor would execute hardware interrupt in a muticore system
body: <p>In general hardware interrupts need to be processed immediately, at least so as to acknowledge it and do some first level of processing. As I understand this is not scheduled activity. Please correct me.</p>
  
  <p>So the question is how to choose a processor that would actually execute this hardware interrupt handler?</p>
  
  <p>One can answer this for Linux and/or BSD systems</p>
