"BUG" fixed by -rt* kernel, why not in mainline?

Hi,

there's a hunk in patch-2.6.23-rc2-rt2, which looks like a bug-fix, 
also relevant for the mainline kernel:

@@ -477,8 +550,8 @@ static inline void finish_lock_switch(st
        smp_wmb();
        prev->oncpu = 0;
 #endif
-#ifndef __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW
-       local_irq_enable();
+#ifdef __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW
+       local_irq_disable();
 #endif
 }
 #endif /* __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW */

But it is not in the mainline until now, although this seems to be 
affecting both platforms defining __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW and 
those not defining it. So, my question is - has it been submitted into 
mainline? If not - why, and what can be consequences of this bug (resp. of 
fixing it)?

Thanks
Guennadi
