I am scratching my head to understand both the question and your
answer...

if cpu1 is handling an interrupt, cpu2 cannot handle an interrupt at the
same time for same queue. It must be for a different queue.

Therefore, packets will be handled in parallel.

Serialization might be done later, at socket layer to queue packets in a
receive queue for example, if both packets must be delivered on same
socket.
