No, I can't be 100% sure, that will depend upon how the application
parses the proc output. The formatting changes are all white space, so
I could remove them. If the value is read using scanf, white spaces
are skipped and the "\t" that were added to make the output pleasant
to the view are not a problem. That part can be reworked if you think
the breakage is serious, it is not really important.

The important thing in the patch are the information additions to the
proc interface: update IRQ enabled, periodic IRQ enabled, periodic IRQ
frequency and max user IRQ frequency. What do you think about these?
