that doesnt work. it simply delays the problem to another set of
underscores. so with that change, local_bh_enable/_local_bh_enable
work, but now send_remote_softirq/__send_remote_softirq fail:
CC kernel/softirq.o
nano /tmp/cconhYy1.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cconhYy1.s:3664: Error: symbol `___ksymtab___send_remote_softirq'
is already defined
make[1]: *** [kernel/softirq.o] Error 1

so any option that involves using underscores as the separator will
not work. pick something else, like "+" or "." or ... i dont see a
problem with using these.
