Well, the patch that started this thread..

timers-do-not-raise-softirq-unconditionally.patch

..(attributed to you) was picked up in -rt (perhaps erroneously) to 
get nohz_full working, and then reverted due to the deadlock detector 
getting properly angry.  All of this is about reinstating it.

I posted a patchlet to simply subtract softirqd from the ->nr_running 
check, which gets nohz_full working in -rt sans illegal activity.
