Interrupt handlers in vanilla Linux and preempt-rt are never reentrant.
There is no advantage of allowing interrupt handler reentrancy, quite the
contrary it makes the code more complex.

The interrupt handlers in preempt-rt are running in threads. One thread
per interrupt, so depending on the thread priority the handlers a handler
of one interrupt can preempt the running handler of another interrupt.

Realtime is not about throughput. It's about determinism.
