The problem is: we're using real-time enhancements patch developed by Ingo/Sven/Daniel etc. You cannot call kmalloc from the interrupt context if you're using this patch.
So you can't even call:
kmalloc(sizeof(foo), GFP_ATOMIC);
in an interrupt anymore?
If so, that's going to break mainline pretty bad...
