Thomas Gleixner 32e475d76a sched: Expose preempt_schedule_irq()
Tony reported that aa0d532605 ("ia64: Use preempt_schedule_irq")
broke PREEMPT=n builds on ia64.

Ok, wrapped my brain around it. I tripped over the magic asm foo which
has a single need_resched check and schedule point for both sys call
return and interrupt return.

So you need the schedule_preempt_irq() for kernel preemption from
interrupt return while on a normal syscall preemption a schedule would
be sufficient. But using schedule_preempt_irq() is not harmful here in
any way. It just sets the preempt_active bit also in cases where it
would not be required.

Even on preempt=n kernels adding the preempt_active bit is completely
harmless. So instead of having an extra function, moving the existing
one out of the ifdef PREEMPT looks like the sanest thing to do.

It would also allow getting rid of various other sti/schedule/cli asm
magic in other archs.
