The failure is because there is (as I pointed out) no fixed greppable

arbitrary strings.

Some good news! Something has changed from 2.6.33 to 3.2.x...

This finds all irq setup calls on the 3.2 kernel tree:

find sound/ -type f -exec grep -2 request_irq {] \; -print

The fourth argument to that call is what is going to be shown in the ps
listing. Now, I found that all _pci_ cards in 3.2.x have KBUILD_MODNAME
as the fourth argument (that was not the case before!). So anything
starting with "snd_" is going to be a soundcard, so rtirq could have
another special case for that.

Rui: this addition/hack in rtirq takes care of snd_hda_intel in my
3.2.16-rt27 system and will presumably do the right thing for any other
pci soundcards:

----
# Special for kernel-rt >= 2.6.31, where one can
# prioritize shared IRQs by device driver (NAME2)...
# first try with irq names that start with snd_
PIDS=`ps -eo pid,comm | egrep -i "IRQ.${IRQ}.snd_.*" | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ -n "${PIDS}" ]
then
RTIRQ_TRAIL=":${IRQ}${RTIRQ_TRAIL}"
else
# try with the name reported in /proc/asound/cards
PIDS=`ps -eo pid,comm | egrep -i "IRQ.${IRQ}.${NAME2:0:8}" | awk '{print
$1}'`
if [ -n "${PIDS}" ]
then
RTIRQ_TRAIL=":${IRQ}${RTIRQ_TRAIL}"
else
# Backward compability for older kernel-rt < 2.6.31...
PIDS=`ps -eo pid,comm | egrep -i "IRQ.${IRQ}" | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ -n "${PIDS}" ]
then
RTIRQ_TRAIL=":${IRQ}${RTIRQ_TRAIL}"
fi

fi
----

given that, which got slightly re-hacked somehow, a new rtirq release has bumped in:
