That's one of the BIG problems in the Linux kernel, we've recently
stumbled with in another project (artificial disk bw limits): 
far too much happening within interrupt context. 

Interrupts were originally as _short time_ step-ins for time critical 
signaling. What's happening here is an abuse of that concept, w/ really
bad implications (eg. arbitrary users can create loads to bring down 
the whole system on extreme load). A clean and more robust solution 
IMHO could be that the interrupt handler only loads the received l1 
frames and enqueue them for an kernel thread (or multiple ones) - an 
containerized setup then would have separate queues and kthreads on 
per-container basis.
