Subject: [125/272] genirq: Prevent irq storm on migration

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

commit f1a06390d013244e721372b3f9b66e39b6429c71 upstream.

move_native_irq() masks and unmasks the interrupt line
unconditionally, but the interrupt line might be masked due to a
threaded oneshot handler in progress. Unmasking the line in that case
can lead to interrupt storms. Observed on PREEMPT_RT.
