   I'm a little puzzled as to what semantics you would expect for a
   snippet of code as above. Surely you wouldn't really expect to
   disable bh for the duration of a call that might require an
   arbitrary amount of time for swapping, etc?

Never mind, you've pointed out the issue I was missing.

However the commentary I made about exporting the precise soft/hard
IRQ management mechanism still applies, it really should be private to
a port and present only in arch asm-foo/ headers.

Later,
