    genirq: enable polling for disabled screaming irqs · f84dbb91
    Eric W. Biederman authored
    When we disable a screaming irq we never see it again.  If the irq
    line is shared or if the driver half works this is a real pain.  So
    periodically poll the handlers for screaming interrupts.
    
    I use a timer instead of the classic irq poll technique of working off
    the timer interrupt because when we use the local apic timers
    note_interrupt is never called (bug?).  Further on a system with
    dynamic ticks the timer interrupt might not even fire unless there is
    a timer telling it it needs to.
    
    I forced this case on my test system with an e1000 nic and my ssh
    session remained responsive despite the interrupt handler only being
    called every 10th of a second.
