I just compiled a kernel with your .config and got a few surprises:
 - 2.6.29-rt1-ccrma works just fine with "irqbalance"
 - over here it shuts down and halts the system even without
   "noreplace-smp" (intel core duo in a Thinkpad X60s)
 - using x86 generic compatibility dramatically increases the size
   kernel+modules MCORE2: 21MB ; i686+x86-generic: 250MB !

more later,
