Subject: [GIT pull] irq urgent updates for 3.9-rc1

Linus,

please pull the latest irq-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

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

* "e5ab012: nohz: Make tick_nohz_irq_exit() irq safe" is the first
  commit in the series and the minimal necessary bugfix, which needs
  to go back into stable.

* The remanining commits enforce irq disabling in irq_exit(), sanitize
  the hardirq/softirq preempt count transition and remove a bunch of
  not longer necessary conditionals.

Thanks,

	tglx

      Revert "nohz: Make tick_nohz_irq_exit() irq safe"
