This line should be added already in the 3rd patch.

Also the initialization of both irq works should be done already
in the 3rd patch.


BTW: I have tried to simulate the compilation on an architecture
without NMI (commented out HAVE_NMI in arch/x86/Kconfig
and I have got the following build error with the first three
patches only:

  LD      init/built-in.o
kernel/built-in.o: In function `vprintk':
/prace/kernel/linux/kernel/printk/printk.c:1914: undefined reference to `vprintk_func'
kernel/built-in.o: In function `printk':
/prace/kernel/linux/kernel/printk/printk.c:1976: undefined reference to `vprintk_func'
Makefile:949: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed


Where the two lines are in:

asmlinkage int vprintk(const char *fmt, va_list args)
{
	return vprintk_func(fmt, args);
}

and

asmlinkage __visible int printk(const char *fmt, ...)
{
	va_list args;
	int r;

	va_start(args, fmt);
	r = vprintk_func(fmt, args);
	va_end(args);

	return r;
}


I know that it is a pain to make it all correctly. I suffered from headaches
when preparing the WARN_*DEFERRED() patchset :-)

Petr
