Now that we have enabled IRQ stacks, any softIRQs that are handled over
the back of a hard IRQ will run from the IRQ stack as well. However, any
synchronous softirq processing that happens when re-enabling softIRQs
from task context will still execute on that task's stack.

So let's wire up the existing infrastructure to run these softIRQs from
the IRQ stack as well.

The change looks reasonable, but maybe try to explain why it is
a good idea to do this.
