Well, there was originally a reason for this oddness. The in __do_softirq(),
"h - softirq_ve"c computation was not needed outside of the tracepoint handler
in the past, but it now seems to be required with the new inlined
"kstat_incr_softirqs_this_cpu()".
So yes, thanks to this recent change, it now makes sense to pull this
computation out of the tracepoints and do it unconditionally in the kernel code.
Feel free to put my:
