I don't think this novel is required. Also a reference to a patch which
was not accepted is not a smart idea (since people might think they
will improve their -RT latency by applying it without thinking).

Do you have any *real* numbers where you can say this patch does
better/worse than what you suggester earlier? I'm simply asking because
each gpio-irq multiplexing driver does the same thing.
