Proposed patch for irqbalance.1 man page.

Description of problem:
The man page for irqbalance does not include the environment variable IRQBALANCE_BANNED_INTERRUPTS.

Additionally examples for utilizing IRQBALANCE_BANNED_INTERRUPTS and IRQBALANCE_BANNED_CPUS would be helpful

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
irqbalance-0.55-10
Comment 1 Neil Horman 2009-01-13 17:42:06 UTC 
Fine, although the example isn't complete, its space delimited at every 32 bits so the example should probably show something like:
IRQBALANCE_BANNED_INTERRUPTS="00000000 0000000c"
Just so that people understand how it works for largesmp systems
