Hi Jens,
thanks for your help.

As I had posted on Friday/Saturday, it didn't work. I had added a
debug pr_info into Pavels patch, somehow it didn't trigger on PF_EXITING
and I didn't further debug it yet as I was working on the pin anyway.
And since Monday occupied with other work...
For this series it is needed to avoid kernel crashes. If we can can fix
patch 15 and 16, the better. Although we will still later on need it as
optimization.

No issue to do that either. The hard part is then to get it through
different branches. I had removed the big optimization of
__wake_up_on_current_cpu in this series, because it needs another
export.

Ah thank you! I'm going to add separate patch for dev.c, as I wrote, this was
just a copy-and-paste.
