Actually, the author was Andi. It's in the 2.6.24-rt patch set too.
Here's the change log:

Subject: [PATCH] Don't disable preemption in exception handlers without IST
Some of the exception handlers that run on an IST in a normal kernel
still disable preemption. This causes might_sleep warning when sending signals
for debugging in PREEMPT-RT because sending signals can take a lock.
Since the ISTs are disabled now for those don't disable the preemption.
This completes the remove IST patch I sent some time ago and fixes
another case where using gdb caused warnings.
Also it will likely improve latency a little bit.
Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@...e.de>
Thomas, I think this patch is worth adding, unless you have a better
work around.
