Because I missed the exact thing you just mentioned... ;-)

I was worried about the following case:

							ttwu();
	set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
	....
	<preemption enable>
	<preempted>
	  preempt_schedule_irq():
	    __schedule(...):
	      deactivate_task(); // Wakeup missed.

However this is not true, since __schedule() in preempt_schedule_irq()
is a SM_PREEMPT one.

Sorry for the noise then. But good for me to revisit these stuffs ;-)
