Threaded interrupts can perform the function of the tasklet, and much more safely too - without races when trying to take the tasklet and interrupt down on device removal. With the old code, there is a window where we call tasklet_kill(). If the interrupt handler happens to be running on a different CPU, and subsequently calls tasklet_schedule(), the tasklet will be re-scheduled for execution. Switching to a hardirq/threadirq combination implementation avoids this, and it also means generic code deals with the teardown sequencing of the threaded and non-threaded parts.
