It's too vague to say I/O load balancing. You need explicit description like "add interrupt coalescing support" as title.quoted
Reduce interrupt signals through reset Interrupt Coalescing Control Reg. Provide dynamic method to adjust interrupt signals and timer ticks bysysfs.quoted
It is a tradeoff for different applications.How about: Adds support for interrupt coalescing feature to reduce interrupt events. Provides mechanism of adjusting coalescing count and timeout tick by sysfs on runtime, so that tradeoff of latency and CPU load can be made depending on applications.
Ok, I will change the title and comments more specifically.
