[PATCH][2.6] Allow x86_64 to reenable interrupts on contention

From: Zwane Mwaikambo
Date: Tue Jul 27 2004 - 04:27:38 EST


This is a follow up to the previous patches for ia64 and i386, it will
allow x86_64 to reenable interrupts during contested locks depending on
previous interrupt enable status. It has been runtime and compile tested
on UP and 2x SMP Linux-tiny/x86_64.
