I like this work.

I wonder if you might be interested also in reporting problems
when soft IRQs are offloaded to the "ksoftirqd/X" kthreads
for too long.

The kthreads are processes with normal priority. As a result,
offloading soft IRQs to kthreads might cause huge difference
on loaded systems.

I have seen several problems when a flood of softIRQs triggered
offloading them. And it caused several second delays on networking
interfaces.

Best Regards,
Petr
