2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit be716615fe596ee117292dc615e95f707fb67fd1 upstream.

Commit 3d2a71a596bd9c761c8487a2178e95f8a61da083 ("x86, traps: converge
do_debug handlers") changed the preemption disable logic of do_debug()
so vm86_handle_trap() is called with preemption disabled resulting in:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/linux/kernel.h:155
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 3005, name: dosemu.bin
Pid: 3005, comm: dosemu.bin Tainted: G W 2.6.29-rc1 #51
Call Trace:

BUG: scheduling while atomic: dosemu.bin/3005/0x10000001

Restore the original calling convention and reenable preemption before
calling handle_vm86_trap().
