Hi Kevin,

     I think you are right,  I don't have a good enough understanding to 
make this work so please disregard the patch.  I will take on 
Sebastian's advice and do some testing with 'threadirqs' parameter 
enabled in standard kernel to see if I can reproduce my original issue 
there.  I'm hoping Jerome might also be able to help with some time to 
find proper solution.

Many Thanks,

Brad.
