Is there some form of priority inheritance? Does the IRQ handler get a
priority boost if a high priority task is waiting for it?

I didn't dare mess with the default kernel thread priorities.

IRQ 10 is shared between a NIC and an I/O board.

For eth2, the kernel said:
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0a.0[A] -> Link [LNKC]
-> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10

For Dta1xx, the kernel said:
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:0e.0[A] -> Link [LNKC]
-> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10

Is it possible to avoid the two boards sharing IRQ 10?

Regards.
