I used itop [1] now to get a rough estimate. First with kernel v4.14.29-rt25 
(fully preempt RT):

INT                NAME          RATE             MAX
 19 [ vel     tc_clkevt]   397 Ints/s     (max:   432)
 26 [      vel     eth0]     4 Ints/s     (max:    38)

Next test with kernel v4.15.13 gives (slightly slower, but non-RT):

INT                NAME          RATE             MAX
 19 [ vel     tc_clkevt]   248 Ints/s     (max:   273)
 26 [      vel     eth0]     4 Ints/s     (max:    11)

With kernel v4.16-rc7 plus this patch series and tcb as clocksource:

INT                NAME          RATE             MAX
 17 [vel     timer at fffa]  2164 Ints/s     (max:  2183)
 26 [      vel     eth0]     5 Ints/s     (max:    10)

Is this the information you wanted? If not, could you point me on how to get 
the requested irq rate?
