Comment # 4 on bug 1204607 from Gene Snider

Request 1:

Since I have the old rpm, I diffed the outputs for brevity.

Old version:
# zypper -q se -sx irqbalance.x86_64

S  | Name       | Type    | Version   | Arch   | Repository
---+------------+---------+-----------+--------+----------------------
i+ | irqbalance | package | 1.9.1-1.1 | x86_64 | (System Packages)
v  | irqbalance | package | 1.9.1-2.1 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS)

# irqbalance -d --foreground > irqbalance.old

New version:
# zypper -q se -sx irqbalance.x86_64

S  | Name       | Type    | Version   | Arch   | Repository
---+------------+---------+-----------+--------+----------------------
i+ | irqbalance | package | 1.9.1-2.1 | x86_64 | Main Repository (OSS)

# irqbalance -d --foreground > irqbalance.new

Differences:
# diff -s irqbalance.old irqbalance.new

> Prevent irq assignment to these thermal-banned CPUs: 00000000
94a96
> thermal: received group id (3).

The first message looks reasonable for a CPU that doesn't support thermald, I'm
not sure about the second message.  However, the message in the journal is
confusing.  

Oct 24 08:35:16 Mobile-PC /usr/sbin/irqbalance[3546]: thermal: socket bind
failed.

It sounds like something went wrong, when in fact, the action was normal for a
non-Intel CPU.

Request 2:
