Subject: softirqs, debug: preemption check
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc1~271^2^3~1
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8e85b4b553fc932e1c5141feb5fda389b7f5db01;p=karo-tx-linux.git

softirqs, debug: preemption check

if a preempt count leaks out of a softirq handler it can be very hard
to figure it out. Add a debug check for this.
