Looking at that, is there any reason for doing this that can not be solved by moving the self-test a little later? Maybe once we reached at least SYSTEM_SCHEDULING? This happens now even before lockdep is up or the console is registered. So if something bad happens, you end up with a blank terminal. There is nothing else that early in the boot process that requires working softirq. The only exception to this is wait_task_inactive() which is used while starting a new thread (including the ksoftirqd) which is why it was moved to schedule_hrtimeout(). > Thanx, Paul Sebastian
