From 6932bf37bed45ce8ed531928b1b0f98162fe6df6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 00:06:55 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] genirq: Remove IRQF_DISABLED from core code Remove all code which is related to IRQF_DISABLED from the core kernel code. IRQF_DISABLED still exists as a flag, but becomes a NOOP and will be removed after a grace period. That way we can easily revert to the previous behaviour by just restoring the core code.
