[patch 3/3] Enable setting of IRQ-thread priorities from kernel cmdline. (repost:CC to LKML)

2007-12-19 Thread Remy Bohmer
The RT-patch originally creates all its softirq-threads at priority 50. Of course, this is not a usable default for many realtime systems and therefor these priorities has to be tuneable for each RT-system. But, currently there is no way within the kernel to adjust this to the needs of the user.
