From 239d1fc04ed0b58d638096b12a7f6d50269d30c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Mon, 26 May 2008 23:31:05 +0100 Subject: xen: don't worry about preempt during xen_irq_enable() When enabling interrupts, we don't need to worry about preemption, because we either enter with interrupts disabled - so no preemption - or the caller is confused and is re-enabling interrupts on some indeterminate processor.
