[PATCH] Linux 2.6.x VM86 interrupt emulation fixes
Patch solves VM86 interrupt emulation deadlock on SMP systems. The VM86 interrupt emulation has been heavily tested and works well on UP systems after last update, but it seems to deadlock when we have used it on SMP/HT boxes now. It seems, that disable_irq() cannot be called from interrupts, because it waits until disabled interrupt handler finishes (/kernel/irq/manage.c:synchronize_irq():while(IRQ_INPROGRESS);). This blocks one CPU after another. Solved by use disable_irq_nosync. There is the second problem. If IRQ source is fast, it is possible, that interrupt is sometimes processed and re-enabled by the second CPU, before it is disabled by the first one, but negative IRQ disable depths are not allowed. The spinlocking and disabling IRQs over call to disable_irq_nosync/enable_irq is the only solution found reliable till now.
