Interrupt requests for eth0 are being handled by one processor in my multiple processor system. Can I round-robin the network interface interrupts over multiple processors?

This is not recommended and can cause severe performance issues. This has been discussed on the Linux kernel mailing list.

The irqbalance daemon specifically overlooks network interface card interrupts for this reason.
