Resend, the first patch never appeared. The problem is the call to
do_softirq inside an asm string where cpp cannot convert it. The
correct fix is toe xpose do_softirq so cpp can convert it then map to a
string and concatenate with teh asm string. But that requires ugly
helper macros, a cleaner fix is:

Against 2.4.6-pre2. Note: you must run make mrproper after applying
this patch.
