Lets just kill this check -- it usually only catches drivers queueing
something in front of a started request on their own (such as shoving a
request sense in front of a failed packet command, for instance). So
it's either working around this detection in some drivers, or killing
it. I vote for the latter, patch attached against 2.5.8-pre1 :-)

says it should do - lock out preemption.

changes

- do not manually set task->state
- instead, in preempt_schedule, set a flag in preempt_count that
  denotes that this task is entering schedule off a kernel preemption.
- use this flag in schedule to jump to pick_next_task
- in preempt_schedule, upon return from schedule, unset the flag
- have entry.S just call preempt_schedule and not duplicate this work,
  as Linus suggested.  I agree.  Note this makes debugging easier as
  we keep a single point of entry for kernel preemptions.

The result: we can safely preempt non-TASK_RUNNING tasks.  If one is
preempted, we can safely survive schedule because we won't handle the
special casing of non-TASK_RUNNING at the top of schedule.  Thus other
tasks can run as desired and our non-TASK_RUNNING task will eventually
be rescheduled, in its original state, and complete happily.

This is the behavior we have in the 2.4 patches and 2.5 until
~2.5.6-pre.  This works.  It requires no other changes elsewhere (it
actually removes some special-casing Ingo did in the signal code).

	2.4 variant will go to Marcelo in a couple of minutes.

Patch moves IS_DEADDIR() checks into may_delete().

More bits from Matt Domsch. Fixes GUID printing, and updates
to what's in the IA64 tree. Other cleanups are mentioned in
the changelog in the patch.

Has had a quick once over by Al, who weeded out one chunk that was
unrelated.

This fixes a problem where MSDOS fs's ignore their 'check' mount option.

I think Anton is going to submit his rewritten NTFS soon making this null and void,
but in the interim, it fixes a known problem with NTFS and large allocations.
