Subject: [GIT pull] irq fixes for 2.6.31

Linus,

Please pull the latest irq-fixes-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git irq-fixes-for-linus

I zapped the yesterdays patch as it triggered the hung_task detector
when no hard interrupt came in. So I moved the wakeup to the end of
setup_irq for now. I still need to figure out why the hung_task
detector triggers on that despite claiming otherwise in its comments.

Verified today that the branch contains really what I want you to pull :)

Thanks,

	tglx
