Some time ago, the i8259 emulation code in kvm was changed to use
raw_spinlock_t, as it was called in a preempt_disable() and
local_irq_disable() context, which doesn't work with preemptible
spinlocks used with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT.
In Linux 2.6.37, the spinlock will no longer be taken in these contexts,
so I'd like to change it to a normal spinlock_t. However, it is still
taken in a spin_lock_irq() context.
Is it okay to do this change? I figured since spin_lock_irq() is part
of the spinlock infrastructure it might to the right thing.
