Michael,
The "badness" variable and the concept of BADNESS_LIMIT were useful during the
debugging of the
preemptible periodic work routines, but now that those problems seem to be
fixed, I propose
simplifying that section of the code according to the patch below. I believe
the functionality to be
identical to what was there before the patch. I expected the size of bcm43xx to
be smaller, but on
i386, at least, the reduction does not cross a page boundary. It does, however,
give us a little
more headroom before we cross that next boundary.
