PS: AFAIU what I'm doing here, it affects

- bus resets triggered by local software (the bug report was also
about externally triggered bus resets),

- and potentially bus resets (even externally triggered ones) on SMP
systems with (PCI) bridges if the IRQ handler migrates to a another
CPU between two interrupt events in quick succession.

Can the latter happen in Linux or/and with -rt kernels?
