I wonder if this is interesting:

void handle_interruption(int code, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
        unsigned long fault_address = 0;
        unsigned long fault_space = 0;
        struct siginfo si;

        if (code == 1)
            pdc_console_restart();  /* switch back to pdc if HPMC */
        else
            sti();

so if we take, say, a page fault, we reenable interrupts on all CPUs.
Who the hell put this code in there?!

Thanks to Thibaut for finding this particular excrescence during
CONFIG_SMP frobbing on 2.5.  I'm not sure what this should be changed to.
local_irq_enable?  Do we want interrupts enabled at this point?
