The warning is caused by the added raw_local_irq_save(), which should
have been local_irq_save(flags). Actually, it is a false positive.

Andrew, considered that your approach may be more efficient than this
one since preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() can be removed too.

So could you prepare one patch for fixing the problem? Or if you are busy, I'd
like to do it.
