Hello!

> yes, ksoftirqd should just avoid you to eat all the cpu 

I see now, you completely killed dead loops from Ingo's patch!
It is your original approach and I am happy with it.

Before falling to euforia, the last question:
Is Ingo really happy with this? He blamed about latency,
it is not better than in 2.4.5 (with cpu_idle fix) :-)

You really misunderstood this a bit, but solely because the question
was meaningless in context of 2.4.7. My apologies. :-)
