Both Alpha patches should apply as-is back to 3.3, and should also fix

I just now tried them on top of 3.3.8 from linux-stable.git.
While they apply cleanly, I get a compile failure:

  CC      arch/alpha/kernel/process.o
arch/alpha/kernel/process.c: In function 'cpu_idle':
arch/alpha/kernel/process.c:64: error: implicit declaration of function 'schedule_preempt_disabled'
make[1]: *** [arch/alpha/kernel/process.o] Error 1
make: *** [arch/alpha/kernel] Error 2

AFAICT, schedule_preempt_disabled() was only introduced in 3.4
and thus needs to be backported for 3.3.

Tobias
