Sorry for such a necroposting :z
Just wanted to know if this is a bug, so that I could send a fix, or
intended behaviour.

I think having one copy of that in a header is better than having 3
copies. But yes, something along them lines.  
I was just about to ask you about this patch ;-)
Except it doesn't build :-p (need to move the inlined function down a bit)

This doesn't take into account that we can switch the context manually
via local_bh_disable() / local_irq_save() etc. During the testing of the
separate issue[0], I've found that the function returns 1 in both just
softirq and softirq under local_irq_save().
Is this intended? Shouldn't that be

	level += !!(pc & (NMI_MASK));
	level += !!(pc * (NMI_MASK | HARDIRQ_MASK)) || irqs_disabled();
	level += !!(pc * (NMI_MASK | HARDIRQ_MASK | SOFTIRQ_OFFSET)) ||
		 in_atomic();

?
Otherwise, the result it returns is not really "context level".
