Hi Benjamin:

I can not figure out why my previous patch is more preferable than
later one.
Could you explain the reason of that please.
=20
There may be other kernel bits calling syscall, it sounds saner to
always make sure we don't reschedule when in atomic (though=20
it's dubious
that it's allowed to do syscalls in atomic regions, let's be safe
there).
=20
In fact, we are thinking about consolidating the syscall=20
return path and
the normal irq return path like we did on ppc64.
