A few more words about this patch; I had to reduce the list of files
included in asm-arm/ipipe.h and include linux/irq.h in
kernel/ipipe/core.c otherwise the kernel did not compile with
CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled. There are a few new enable_irq in entry-armv.S
and I was not sure what to do about them, so I simply leaved them.
