Except you kinda forgot to run the raised list. The reformatted
(which saved two whole lines;) patch below adds that to
irq_work_tick(), which fixes the livelock both powertop and perf top
otherwise meet.
Subject: [PATCH RT 3.18] irq_work: Provide a soft-irq based queue

Instead of turning all irq_work requests into lazy ones on -rt, just
move their execution from hard into soft-irq context.
This resolves deadlocks of ftrace which will queue work from arbitrary
contexts, including those that have locks held that are needed for
raising a soft-irq.

Second try, looks much better so far. And it also removes my concerns
regarding other potential cases besides ftrace.
