I've tested it and looked it over now, and feel pretty confident in
the patch.  Thanks Thomas!

I've been running this fix with my extra lock steps for a couple days
now on 3 machines, and haven't seen any issues.  On each of the
machines, I've got a CAN card generating about 1 CPU worth of load
from interrupts, and the rest of the cores are tied up putting work on
the work queues with the killer_module.

What next?

Austin
