Hi,

This is version 2 of the set of patches for removing
__ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW on ARM. The series was updated to allow
for the pgd switch not to be deferred if switch_mm() is called with
interrupts enabled. This is required for cases where switch_mm() is
called directly (currently from use_mm() and idle_task_exit()) without a
corresponding finish_arch_post_lock_switch() call. The original changes
to activate_mm() were also reverted since switch_mm() can do the actual
pgd switch when the interrupts are enabled.

If there are no objections, I'd like to push the series to -next to get
more exposure (the patches are aimed for 3.4-rc1 unless other issues are
found in the meantime).
Version 2 looks good to me.  Thanks!

-Frank
