Hello!
This sounds reasonable. However as a start I was thinking at having hardirq run only the softirq they posted actively, and local_bh_enable run only the softirq that have been posted by the critical section (not from hardirqs happening on top of it).
To all that I remember Ingo insisted that the run from local_bh_enable() is necessary for softirqs triggered by hardirqs while softirqs are disabled. Otherwise he observed random delays and redundant scheduler activity breaking at least tux fast path. Alexey
