Subject: [PATCH -rt] use SA_NODELAY for XScale PMU interrupts

In the XScale oprofile support, the performance monitoring unit (PMU)
triggers interrupts and the ISR reads out the performance data.  These
ISRs are currently set to SA_INTERRUPT.  In order to get accurate
performance and profiling data under PREEMPT_RT, these should use
SA_NODELAY.  The functions called by this ISR are limited to
drivers/oprofile functions.

Patch against 2.6.18-rt8
