*shrug* You can if you want. One thing I would suggest is cutting down on
the code duplication if you go this route and doing something like this:
if (fast_intr)
irq_setup = bus_setup_intr(..., INTR_TYPE_TTY | INTR_FAST);
if (!fast_intr || irq_setup != 0)
irq_setup = bus_setup_intr(..., INTR_TYPE_TTY);
That has less indentation and less duplicated code and is easier to read I
think. Granted, I'm not sure how many people would actually use this tunable
in 7.0 since INTR_FAST breaks in fewer places now since for all but ppc
INTR_FAST can be shared with !INTR_FAST.
