I am sorry Alan, but I fixed all of the locking code in 2.4 a long time
ago, and you adopted it somewhere around this patch.
Please check your patch revisions, and I can retrive out of archives
the date and time when I finally fixed it for all of x86 and then when I
started reworking all the arch specifics. Noting that I had broken the
ia64 locking and DM of HP replied to me offering help to solve the need
for the local_irq_set() calls which are need currently.
I have now fix all the asm-*/system.h asm-*/hw_irq.h etc with proper
assembley calls.
Again I have to call this patch and fix and take credit and full ownership
of removing all the save/cli/sti/restore which littered the driver and
were spread like cow patties through a chopper gun.
