Ok.

There is one more issue, I have observed in -rt tree.
raise_softirq_irqoff() is unconditionally doing the wakeup_softirqd() But unless the CONFIG_PREEMPT_SOFTIRQS is configured, do_softirq() will process the softirq's like TIMER_SOFTIRQ and SCHED_SOFTIRQ in the process context. So it looks like we are unnecessarily waking the softirqd's corresponding to those softirq's.
