Deadlock finally found!!!
I've been debugging this all week. And at 2:30 in the morning I finally
found where it is. It really sucks when you need to debug on something
that doesn't have a serial, and netconsole doesn't work that reliably.
This also explains why this only happened on my laptop.
Hi Howard,
Thanks for joining the discussion. One request, if I may,
can you retain the CC list on posts please?

Found another one to back out. It creaped in with the same patch.
It's slow and just conceals bad configured PICs and crappy demux

For the i386 architecture at least, yes: they are statically defined in
arch/i386/kernel/irq.c, while they could be per_cpu.
