Re: [patch] irqlock patch 2.5.27-H4

Hello.

arch/i386/kernel/microcode.c:do_microcode_update() calls
smp_call_function(do_update_one). do_update_one() does
spin_lock/unlock. So smp_call_function_interrupt() needs
irq_enter().

entry.S has unneeded GET_THREAD_INFO(%ebx) in
device_not_available() trap.

Patch against 2.5.28.
