Hi Ankur/Thomas. 

Thank you for this series and previous ones. 
These are very interesting patch series and the even more interesting 
discussions. I have been trying go through to get different bits of it. 


Tried this patch on PowerPC by defining LAZY similar to x86. The change is below. 
Kept it at PREEMPT=none for PREEMPT_AUTO. 

Running into soft lockup on large systems (40Cores, SMT8) and seeing close to 100%
regression on small system ( 12 Cores, SMT8). More details are after the patch. 

Are these the only arch bits that need to be defined? am I missing something very 
basic here? will try to debug this further. Any inputs?
