[PATCH 6/9] ucb1400: Use disable_irq_nosync() from within irqhandlers.

From: Ben Nizette
Date: Thu Apr 16 2009 - 01:56:55 EST



disable_irq() should wait for all running handlers to complete
before returning. As such, if it's used to disable an interrupt
from that interrupt's handler it will deadlock. This replaces
the dangerous instances with the _nosync() variant which doesn't
have this problem.
