The fix to export ksyms for do_softirq is _in_ pre2...  its just not working.

from ksyms in pre2:
/* software interrupts */
EXPORT_SYMBOL(tasklet_hi_vec);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(tasklet_vec);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(bh_task_vec);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(init_bh);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(remove_bh);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(tasklet_init);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(tasklet_kill);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(__run_task_queue);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(do_softirq);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(tasklet_schedule);
EXPORT_SYMBOL(tasklet_hi_schedule);

in the arch code for softirq we now have:

+#define local_bh_enable()                                              \
+do {                                                                   \
+       unsigned int *ptr = &local_bh_count(smp_processor_id());        \
+                                                                       \
+       if (!--*ptr)                                                    \
+               __asm__ __volatile__ (                                  \
+                       "cmpl $0, -8(%0);"                              \
+                       "jnz 2f;"                                       \
+                       "1:;"                                           \
+                                                                       \
+                       ".section .text.lock,\"ax\";"                   \
+                       "2: pushl %%eax; pushl %%ecx; pushl %%edx;"     \
+                       "call do_softirq;"

What has to happen to get assembly code to version the symbol?
