If you simply disable/restore IRQs around the critical region then you 
don't have to worry about __v7_setup.  Plus this will allow for 
v7_flush_dcache_all to still be callable from atomic context.
Ok. Here's a patch. I still need to test it. I'll send another patch
series to cleanup the get_thread_info stuff (there's two of them?).

I'd suggest using restore_irqs_notrace instead.  The IRQ-off period is 
so small that there is no point tracing it.

Withthat change:
