Short recap:

xhci (USB) and network device didn't share interrupts, or even interrupt the
same CPU in either good or bad case.

A change in how many interrupts xhci driver requests changed which CPU
the network device interrupts.

In the bad case Mikhail Gavrilovs network device was interrupting CPU0
together with:
- IR-IO-APIC 2-edge timer
- IR-PCI-MSIX-0000:07:00.0 1-edge nvme1q1

In the good case network device was interrupting CPU27 together with:
- IR-PCI-MSIX-0000:04:00.0 27-edge nvme0q27
- IR-PCI-MSIX-0000:07:00.0 28-edge nvme1q28

Manually moving network device irq 87 from CPU0 to CPU23 helped.
(echo 800000 > /proc/irq/87/smp_affinity)

Thanks
