OpenSuSE 11.0 rpm for i586:(see the Files section)
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/11.0/i586/irqbalance-0.55-88.1.i586.html

And some other rpms for many other distro:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=irqbalance

which seems all of those place the binary file in /usr/sbin. In my view,
what the irqbanlance eventually do is to modify /proc/irq/*/smp_affinity
file if you run a SMP system. And all the smp_affinity file is own by root
and have 600 mode. So only if run as root, this programe could take into
effect.
