There's a reason all RT irq threads are started at 50, its plain
impossible to do better.
That's it!
If I work with embedded system where I know all my tasks running and there is
not a user how could I do it?
init scripts run from user space and you can adjust the priority there.
 
What I tried is create the kernel thread in my init_module using:

	#include <linux/kthread.h>

	struct task_struct *kthread_create(int (*threadfn)(void *data),
				   void *data,
				   const char namefmt[], ...)
and then running it with:

	#include <linux/sched.h>
	
	extern int wake_up_process(struct task_struct *tsk);

These functions stars a Kthread which has a NON RT priority. I can see this
using the ps command from user space.
Because it's not a real time thread is why I want, better need, to change its
priority, to have only real time threads running in my driver. I want to use
the Kthread as a bottom half for the interrupts.
Use threaded interrupt handlers. That's what they are made for.
