Well, that's clearly wrong: threaded IRQ handlers are not tied to 
real-time in any way. Yes, they can be used for RT too but as far as the 
upstream kernel is involved that's at most an afterthought.

and the "unless this patch isn't actually threading anything" bit does 
not parse at all. The patches execute hard-IRQ handlers from special 
kernel threads.

what Thomas said was a strong but fair reaction to your obviously 
incorrect statement. What reaction did you expect?
