I know you *can* share threaded interrupts, I'm just not sure that
hogging the threaded handler plays nicely with other users.  Though now
I look at this again tx_fifo_high is a "constant" so it's not actually
trying to do a NAPI type mitigation thing and this is really just an
open coded threaded interrupt as you say.
