    I agree that there would not likely be any differences except in
    corner-case OOM situations, and that we would probably not want
    to rely on such differences in any case.

    Ah! Thank you for the clarification -- I thought you were
    talking about the number of RCU callbacks to be executed in each
    rcu_do_batch() invocation. And, yes, after MAX_SOFTIRQ_RESTART,
    ksoftirqd does re-enable preemption.

    Thanx, Paul
