Hi Daniel,

  Is it possible to use in_interrupt() instead? Sorry to tell that, in
our iGVT-g implementation, the host i915 irq handler needs to be called
in a non hardirq driven context. i.e. a tasklet or workqueue.

Hm, why that? Depending upon how you do this you might break a lot of the
interrupt related locking we have ... This is a crucial integration issue,
which patch does that change?
-Daniel

The RFC patch set is not sent out yet, hopefully in 1~2 days :)

Yes I know it's not a good implementation ... I also wish there would be
a better way to go :)
