Hmm, Ingo I seem to remember you saying that the following construct:

        local_irq_save(flags);
        spin_lock(lock);

which is equivelant to spin_lock_irqsave() in mainline being illegal in
-RT, is that correct? This is what cfq uses right now for an exiting
task, as the above trace indicates.
