After going over things, I think that I'll redo my patch on top of that one, as it means that architectures that can optimize away the save/restore of irq flags will be able to benefit from that. Maybe after all this is said and done we can clean things up sufficiently to be able to inline the inc/dec where it is simple enough to do so. -ben -- "You know, I've seen some crystals do some pretty trippy shit, man."
