Ok, this works as far as the warnings don't appear anymore. But while applying the patch and thinking about it, why local_irq_save() and not preempt_disable()? "Sounds" like this is the function you want, and I also stumbled across this in Documentation/preempt-locking.txt: But keep in mind that 'irqs disabled' is a fundamentally unsafe way of disabling preemption - any spin_unlock() decreasing the preemption count to 0 might trigger a reschedule. The spinlock would do an other nested preempt_disable(), but those even out.
