I also tried with the irqbalance daemon, on ARM quad core architecture,
and as per my understanding, the daemon sets the
/proc/irq/<irq.no.>/smp_affinity
file according to the irq frequency on a particular processor.

However, the daemon doesn't work as expected, I also tried
accessing the
proc file mentioned above to set the cpu mask for particular irq, but this
just block the processing of the irq, as I see the count of that irq
doesnt increase
in /proc/interrupts.

My conclusion is that the irqbalancing is not supported on
ARM arch or there is
something more required for this to work. Kindly provide some
pointers over this.
