Hi Steven,

Thanks for your patch.

I also used the following steps to do test and didn't get any 
warning/panic after applying your patch.
---------------------------------
for i in $(seq 1 100); do modprobe preemptirq_delay_test test_mode=irq 
delay=500000; rmmod preemptirq_delay_test; done
for i in $(seq 1 100); do modprobe preemptirq_delay_test 
test_mode=preempt delay=500000; rmmod preemptirq_delay_test; done
---------------------------------

But I am not sure which fix(from you and Joel) is better.

Thanks,
Xiao Yang
