Subject: linux-2.6.9-rc2 : hardirq.h broken if PREEMPT enabled

Christoph Hellwig posted this patch but it was unfortunately not
included in linux-2.6.9-rc2. As I see oops reports with PREEMPT enabled,
I think people should make sure to apply this patch first.

My 0.02 ? :-)

this can't lead to an oops, the worst thing that could happen would
be acompile failure. But as about half of the old <asm/hardirq.h> instances
didn't have the include either there's no driver I saw that actually
broke.
