Subject: how to tell if you are executing in soft IRQ context

Hi,

Is there a function that can be called to determine if you are executing
in soft IRQ context in kernel version 2.6.31?

Note I've already tried in_softirq(). That doesn't work since it also
returns non-zero if you are running in process context but have disabled
bottom halves.

Thanks,

Jeff Haran
