just to make sure the C compiler doesn't forget it ?
or maybe the parser is suffering from memory lapse ? ;)

why this change? the change is for spinlock debugging.. why add preempt
to this?

what is this used for? your patch doesn't add users of this...

eh... if interrupts are off here that's a bad bug. Why work around it?

are you sure you want this semantics change?
