Hmm, well usually ARM timer interrupts have the SA_TIMER flag .. In
realtime ARM changes SA_TIMER includes SA_NODELAY ..

In 2.6.17-rc4

arch/arm/mach-at91rm9200/time.c

static struct irqaction at91rm9200_timer_irq = {
.name = "at91_tick",
.flags = SA_SHIRQ | SA_INTERRUPT,
.handler = at91rm9200_timer_interrupt
};

No SA_TIMER, and no SA_NODELAY , so i'd imagine it's is in a thread ..
