The fact is that other archs include this header into their
asm/system.h. It seems that's because
they need some non-traced irq_save/restore .
I wanted to stay in the same approach because future use of
raw_local_irq could be used elsewhere
and seem to work perfectly whithout adding special headers on most
arch. But there will be some
bug report for each future use of these functions for alpha.... (and
even m68k as it seems).

What do you think? Should I let this patch as is or send a new one
(and one other for m68k).
