Sure, on high load (e.g., large pixel-copy operations via CPU),
an IRQ thread could be preempted at any time, getting delayed
by a whole time slice of 10ms or even longer. Hence, boosting the
priority of IRQ threads is certainly a good idea. The attached
patch assigns the priority 0xc0 to these threads. Could you give
it a try?

Norman
