[PATCH] m68knommu: ColdFire add support for kernel preemption

From: Greg Ungerer
Date: Wed Apr 30 2008 - 22:17:19 EST


From: Sebastian Siewior <bigeasy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

As the subject says this patch adds the support for kernel preemption
on m68knommu Coldfire. I thing the same changes could be applied to
68360 & 68328 but since I don't have the HW for testing, I don't touch it.
