The first time I compiled it, I forgot the ';' and got a warning there.
But the warning also included "declaring structure softirq_action in
prototype", so I fixed both the ';' and added the struct. I can try
compile without it. But I also know that adding #include <interrupt.h>
in rcupreempt.h caused issues too.
