[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 3/4] xen: add process_pending_softirqs_norcu() for keyhandlers

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Some keyhandlers are calling process_pending_softirqs() while holding
a rcu_read_lock(). This is wrong, as process_pending_softirqs() might
activate rcu calls which should not happen inside a rcu_read_lock().

For that purpose add process_pending_softirqs_norcu() which will not
do any rcu activity and use this for keyhandlers.
