Hmm, i'd be interested to find out how long these are taking... I might
try and rig up something to test the time being taken via an SMDK.

If the fifo read/writes are taking significant amounts of time, then the
pio tasklet will at least improve the interrupt latencies invloved, as
iirc we're currently running the main irq handler in IRQ_DISABLED mode
to stop any problems with re-enternancy.... I'll check this and see what
is going on.
