As a followup to this, I've refreshed my patches and put them
in a tree cloned from Linus's current GIT tree:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/softirq-2.6.git
I made minor touchups to the second patch, such as adding a few more
descriptive comments, and adding the missing export of the softirq_work
list array.
Updated version below for reference:
softirq: Add support for triggering softirq work on softirqs.
This is basically a genericization of Jens Axboe's block layer
remote softirq changes.
