The patch titled
kexec: Avoid migration of already disabled irqs (ia64)
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kexec-avoid-migration-of-already-disabled-irqs-ia64.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: kexec: Avoid migration of already disabled irqs (ia64)
From: Magnus Damm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware. It does
this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs. This is most likely a
problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to
reproduce it on one machine so far.
The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the
new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs()
calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by
avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq().
The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good
results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor
using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.
