Hi Hiroshi,

Thanks again for reporting this. I took a deeper look into this today and
came to the conclusion that we need to get rid of both
slab_irq_disable_nort and slab_irq_disable_rt, and simply use
slab_irq_disable ;-)

This is what you patch indirectly does. I'll write up another patch to fix
this.

Thanks,

-- Steve

P.S. I'm hoping to get -rt4 out today.
