Ok, a grep shows that possible culprits (i.e. giving success to
grep GENERIC_HARDIRQS arch/*/Kconfig, and using 0x4000000 as PREEMPT_ACTIVE, 
as given by grep PREEMPT_ACTIVE include/asm-*/thread_info.h) are (at a first 
glance): frv, sh, sh64.

After a bit of checking, I also verified if they had overriden the value of 
HARDIRQ_BITS. Which they haven't (it seems it's defined exactly where 
CONFIG_HARDIRQS is not used, i.e. nobody is using the ability to override it 
currently).

This was not a very deep investigation, however, so feel free to verify this 
better.

Yeah, that's bogus for sh and sh64 anyways, this should do it.

It would be nice to move PRREMPT_ACTIVE so it isn't per-arch anymore,
there's not many users that use a different value (at least for the ones
using generic hardirqs, ia64 seems to be the only one?).

Then in the generic headers
#ifndef PREEMPT_ACTIVE
#define PREEMPT_ACTIVE <the right value>
#else
<do the above coherence test>
#endif
Would be ok, right?

For FRV that's simply because it got copied from the parent arch along with
other stuff. Feel free to move it... Do you want me to make you up a patch to
do so?

Sorry but fix that yourself, otherwise you get a chance I'll forget since I'm 
quite busy.

Thanks a lot for attention.
