Subject[PATCH 5 of 5] xen: don't worry about preempt during xen_irq_enable()
Date
From
When enabling interrupts, we don't need to worry about preemption,
because we either enter with interrupts disabled - so no preemption -
or the caller is confused and is re-enabling interrupts on some
indeterminate processor.
