Is there a way to verify if the kernel was loaded with the threadirqs

Interesting question and it came up using a quick search of you question
in the first few results, in the Mixxx wiki -
https://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/adjusting_audio_latency
grep threadirqs /proc/cmdline
With the caveat that you will also need to check whether the kernel is
running the full RT patch, in which case IRQ handling is always threaded,
so the threadirqs command line option is not needed. Also note that even
with the threadirqs command line, I do not think threaded IRQ handling is
implemented if the PREEMPT option is not selected when the kernel is
compiled. That was the case in the past, I have not verified it is still
the case with the very latest, although if you are looking for low latency
you will probably want to verify that the kernel is configured with at
least PREEMPT if not using the full PREEMPT-RT patches.
I had the feeling this is quite complex to put into a script that checks
for all these cases and gives a recommendation.

If you know how to query for those different options please share.
