Subject: [patch V2 1/9] softirq: Add RT specific softirq accounting

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

RT requires the softirq processing and local bottomhalf disabled regions to
be preemptible. Using the normal preempt count based serialization is
therefore not possible because this implicitely disables preemption.

RT kernels use a per CPU local lock to serialize bottomhalfs. As
local_bh_disable() can nest the lock can only be acquired on the outermost
invocation of local_bh_disable() and released when the nest count becomes
zero. Tasks which hold the local lock can be preempted so its required to
keep track of the nest count per task.

Add a RT only counter to task struct and adjust the relevant macros in
preempt.h.
