all of the above is probably correct, but there's one important thing
missing: as the configuration file is there located in
/etc/sdefault/rtirq instead of the original /etc/sysconfig/rtirq,
one has to edit the /etc/init.d/rtirq script and, somewhere near line
42, where it reads:

  RTIRQ_CONFIG=/etc/sysconfig/rtirq

please change to

  RTIRQ_CONFIG=/etc/default/rtirq

now it should work as advertised (not:)

ah, yet another thingie; it has been noted from some folks, specially
found dealing with ubuntu, that the very first line of the same script
should be tweaked, where it reads:

  #!/bin/sh

should be

  #!/bin/bash

finally, the rtirq script is just about tunning the irq threading
priorities as found on PREEMPT_RT patched karnels (aka Ingo Molnar's -rt
patchset). it does not have any regard to the rtc frequency setting (but
would be handy, nevertheless:)

moreover, rtirq has also some legacy support for PREEMPT_DESKTOP
configured kernels, where one has the option of having some of the irqs
non-threaded (thus RTIRQ_NON_THREADED configuration purpose), iirc. this
is not a option on PREEMPT_RT (aka full complete real-time)
