Yes. 

I think it could be great to have options in gui for:

- ioscheduler
- transparent hugepage
- kernel tuning profiles with latency / throughput

yes, systemd service file is available in irqbalance git repo:

OK

I guess it would be great if we can provide some of those settings on the GUI. 

We can also install the irqbalance package by default, but disable the daemon. 
So the user can simply enable it on the node/services panel. 

Unfortunately that package is not systemd ready... Maybe we can package 
ourselves using the latest version, and provide systemd service files?
