Ahh. Ok. Different case from the one I thought you were worried about.
And yeah, I guess that one does require us to mess with the low-level
asm code (although I do wonder if we could not make the whole
do_notify_resume + reschedule code be generic C code - it's a lot of
duplicated subtle asm as it is).
