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

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

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>

commit d85cf93da66977dbc645352be1b2084a659d8a0b upstream.

Impact: avoid access to percpu vars in preempible context

They are intended to be used whenever there's the possibility
that there's some stale state which is going to be overwritten
with a queued update, or to force a state change when we may be
in lazy mode.  Either way, we could end up calling it with
preemption enabled, so wrap the functions in their own little
preempt-disable section so they can be safely called in any
context (though preemption should never be enabled if we're actually
in a lazy state).

(Move out of line to avoid #include dependencies.)
