        Seems current event priority is simple by

add more flexible priority policy, since by current way the priority is
decided completely by compilation sequence of different drivers?

Sorry, I should say driver init sequence here. :-)

If hardirq 'scheduling' is demonstrated to be an issue then we can certainly work on this. There are various possible solutions -- the easiest being to simply round-robin scan the event_pending array.
