Just to agree with Thomas.

Do you want me to resend the patch without RT tag?

OK, so this has nothing to do with the local_irq_save() that is being
removed, which would be fine then.

It disables interrupts at the device level which obviously helps whether on
SMP or not.

If this is for both RT and non RT then the patch subject should just be
[PATCH] and not [PATCH RT] as the latter tells upstream folks not to
bother.

I'm nervous about the above comment, which in full is:

/*
 * Disable interrupts so we don't get the IRQ line bouncing
 * up and down while interrupts are disabled.
 */

I'm not sure if disabling interrupts helps on an SMP system. This patch
does change what happens when port->sysrq is set. But I'm not sure we
care.

I'm nervous about the above comment, which in full is:

/*
 * Disable interrupts so we don't get the IRQ line bouncing
 * up and down while interrupts are disabled.
 */

I'm not sure if disabling interrupts helps on an SMP system. This patch
does change what happens when port->sysrq is set. But I'm not sure we
care.
