[PATCH] Try harder in IRQ context before falling back to ksoftirqd

From: "David S. Miller" <davem@redhat.com>

It's from Ingo Molnar.  ksoftirqd kicks in way too early, so do more work in
interrupt context before falling back.

We can probably sysctl this thing, that way everyone gets what they want
probably...

(has been in -mm since 2.5.71 and I haven't heard a peep).
