[PATCH 40/45] powerpc,irq: Use GFP_ATOMIC allocations in atomic context

From: Srivatsa S. Bhat
Date: Sun Jun 23 2013 - 09:50:27 EST


The function migrate_irqs() is called with interrupts disabled
and hence its not safe to do GFP_KERNEL allocations inside it,
because they can sleep. So change the gfp mask to GFP_ATOMIC.
