It is trivial to call a Linux interrupt handler from RTLinux.
But in RTLinux you do:
pthread_kill(rtl_get_linux_thread(cpunumber), RTL_LINUX_MIN_SIGNAL+irq)
in pre 2.3 you need the simpler seeming, but nonstandard:
rtl_global_pend_irq(irq);
Hopefully, you have a Linux handler installed for that interrupt and
then it will be invoked.

This is exactly the problem faced by x86 RTLinux for use of the
clock which we must share with Linux.

If this happens in RTLinux, please tell me.
