    [PATCH] Make ksoftirqd a normal per-cpu variable. · 3ac57d34
    Rusty Russell authored
    This moves the ksoftirqd pointers out of the irq_stat struct, and uses a
    normal per-cpu variable.  It's not that time critical, nor referenced in
    assembler.  This moves us closer to making irq_stat a per-cpu variable.
    
    Because some archs have hardcoded asm references to offsets in this
    structure, I haven't touched non-x86.  The __ksoftirqd_task field is
    unused in other archs, too.
