I am a bit concerned of this dance in fold_lr_state(). This looks awfully complex but I don't have better solution here. I will have a think during the night.

However, this is not going to solve the race condition I mentioned between clearing _IRQ_INPROGRESS here and setting _IRQ_INPROGRESS in do_IRQ. This is because you don't know the order they are going to be executed.

I wanted to make sure you didn't intend to solve that one. Am I correct?

Cheers,
