I haven't looked into rtirq yet (I really should), but if I understand 
correctly rtirq does automatically what I did manually: find out which IRQ 
the device you're interested in is connected to, and give that IRQ a 
higher rtprio.

To see the current rtprio's of your IRQ's, do:

  ps axHo user,lwp,pid,rtprio,ni,command | grep irq

To increase the rtprio of some irq manually:

  chrt -f -p <prio> <pid>
