You can change the source to start the thread with right prio (although
that may be tricky to make sure which thread is that) or correlate data
from 'ps' and /proc/interrupts to find the right process and use chrt on
it.

If it is always [IRQ-7] you are looking for, the lines below should be
enough:

chrt -p 80 `ps -Ao pid,cmd | grep "\[IRQ-7\]"| cut -f2 -d\  `

Here, 80 is the priority.
