Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/2] softirq: Per vector thread deferment
Some softirq vectors can be more CPU hungry than others. Especially
networking may sometimes deal with packet storm and need more CPU than
IRQ tail can offer without inducing scheduler latencies. In this case
the current code defers to ksoftirqd that behaves nicer. Now this nice
behaviour can be bad for other IRQ vectors that usually need quick
processing.
To solve this we only defer to threading the vectors that outreached the
time limit on IRQ tail processing and leave the others inline on real
Soft-IRQs service. This is achieved using workqueues with
per-CPU/per-vector worklets.
Note ksoftirqd is not removed as it is still needed for threaded IRQs
mode.
