[RFC PATCH 0/4] softirq: Per vector threading v3

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Fri Jan 19 2018 - 10:46:35 EST


As per Linus suggestion, this take doesn't limit the number of occurences
per jiffy anymore but instead defers a vector to workqueues as soon as
it gets re-enqueued on IRQ tail.

No tunable here, so testing should be easier.
