Do you have an example for this? I'm not too sure if we are not using a
state by doing this. Actually we were losing it and get yelled at.  We do:
|rt_spin_unlock()
|{
|         rt_spin_lock_fastunlock();
|         migrate_enable();
|}

So save the state as part of the locking process and lose it as part of
migrate_enable() if the CPU mask was changed. I *think* we need to
preserve that state until after the migration to the other CPU.
