Subject: [PATCH 3.16 123/131] via-cuda: Use spinlock_irq_save/restore
 instead of enable/disable_irq

3.16.59-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Finn Thain <fthain@...egraphics.com.au>

commit ac39452e942af6a212e8f89e8a36b71354323845 upstream.

The cuda_start() function uses spinlock_irq_save/restore for mutual
exclusion. Let's have cuda_poll() do the same when polling the VIA
interrupt.

The benefit to disabling local irqs when the interrupt is being polled
is that the interrupt handler now has the same timing properties
regardless of whether it is invoked normally or from cuda_poll().

This driver was written back when local irqs remained enabled during
execution of interrupt handlers and cuda_poll() was probably trying
to achieve the same effect by use of enable/disable_irq.
