summary: [ppc] Must check softirq conditions on return from hcall.

It looks like the only hcalls that could set a softirq flag are some dom0 ops that may set SCHEDULE_SOFTIRQ? What problem were you seeing that this patch
solves?

Actually, it is mainly for continuations, a softirq can trigger an hcall continuation, however we never satisfy it.


It might be helpful if you include the log messages in these mails, since
hopefully that would explain some of these questions.

The posts would have log messages if they existed, I usually only commit with a summary message.
I'll do better, sorry.
