The IRQ handler 'vectors' are called by the
hardware, and these call the
IRQ handler functions registered in the kernel. Ingo's patch makes these
handler functions run in separate threads that are scheduled at a
certain priority. These IRQ handler functions then determine what module
the IRQ is for/from, and run the IRQ handler for that module, at the
same priority as it was scheduled itself.
What I propose is that the IRQ handler priority can be set for each
module irq handler, instead of for each 'global' irq handler.
Yes, that would be nice. I'm pretty sure Ingo thought of this before himself.
I suspect practical reasons [i.e. too much work] for this not being
implemented. Am i right, Ingo [CC'ed]?

P.S.: Took LAD/LAU/1394 from the CC list. dunno if Ingo is subscribed..
