What about this? Is this ok? I don't know if it is benign to use
in_interrupt() here. I took this idea from the
execute_in_process_context() implementation. 


If this is ok, should I rebase them on your two pm_qos patches (plists
and the kzalloc removal)? 

Did you already thought about some debugging stuff that would suffice
the android needs? I kind of thought about either registerieng some
notifier callback or using the perf/tracing infrastructure. 
But I have not looked into it yet.

Cheers,
Flo
