The last patch was made against linux-next, as Andrew Morton
suggested, where spawn_ksoftirqd() was declared in the scope of
__do_pre_smp_initcall():
@@ -793,17 +784,6 @@ static void __init __do_pre_smp_initcalls(void)
do_one_initcall(*call);
}

-static void __init do_pre_smp_initcalls(void)
-{
- extern int spawn_ksoftirqd(void);
-
- init_call_single_data();
- migration_init();
- spawn_ksoftirqd();
- if (!nosoftlockup)
- spawn_softlockup_task();
-}
-

It may be that some other patch in -mmotm moves that into
include/linux/interrupt.h. In linux-next with my patch, running
$ find . -name \*.h | xargs grep "spawn_ksoftirqd"
shows nothing.

Thanks for spotting this difference.

(Using -mmotm + quilt myself is an additional headache, since git
already does what I want in terms of patch (read commits) management;
that's why I prefered linux-next.)
