open_softirq just enables a softirq. The softirq array is statically
allocated so to add a new one you would have to patch the kernel. So
there's no point to keep this export at all as any user would have to
patch the enum in include/linux/interrupt.h anyway. Adrian, care to
submit a patch to kill this senseless export entirely?
