(see http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-rt-users@vger.kernel.org/msg01022.html) Here is a patchset that implements such a nice feature from the kernel cmdline, similar to what we all agreed on, back then. The set exist of 3 parts: 1) add a generic routine to the kernel commandline-parse-library to parse the format of the map as we agreed on. 2) Add a __setup(irq_pmap=) routine to kernel/irq/manage.c 3) Add a __setup(sirq_pmap=) routine to kernel/softirq.c I hope you can find the time to review this set. Kind Regards, Remy Bohmer --
