Yeah, more or less.
It's replacing local_irq_save() and all related functions
(spin_lock_irqsave etc..) that take a flags argument with this new thing
that frobs a recursion count in preempt_count(), obviating the need to
carry the local flags argument around.
This is nice, even for C code, less flags muck to carry around.
It would be even better if they then went and deleted all of the _irq /
_irqsave nonsense entirely.
Yes, that's going to be a big patch :-)
Also, IIRC there is some arch stuff that comes unstuck if you do this
blindly (I tried at some point, it didn't boot).
