The glaring exception is the IDE io completion, which can run for 2000+
usec even with a modern chipset and drive. Here's a 600 usec trace:
http://krustophenia.net/testresults.php?dataset=2.6.8-rc4-bk3-O7#/var/www/2.6.8-rc4-bk3-O7/ide_irq_latency_trace.txt
The timer, RTC, and soundcard interrupts (among others) will not like
being delayed this long. Ingo mentioned that this was not always done
in hardirq context; presumaby the I/O completion was done in a softirq
like SCSI. What was the motivation for moving such a long code path
into the hard irq handler?
