So today in the morning I learned that there is a memory allocation in
an IRQ-off section and now, a patch later, it is almost gone. So that
makes me actually happy :)

The spin_lock_irq() vs local_irq_disable() + spin_lock() is documented
in Documentation/locking/locktypes.rst.
That said I have no problem by carrying that patch in the RT-patchset
and revisit it later.
