What's the rationale for not supporting interrupt priorities in the kernel?
We're having a discussion of this in one of our CELF working groups, and it would help if someone could explain why an interrupt priority system has never been adopted in the mainstream Linux kernel. (I know that some implementations have been written and proposed).
Is there a strong policy against such a thing, or is it just that the right implementation has not come along?
Thanks,
