    Robert Love authored
    Misc. kernel preemption-related bits.  Specifically,
    
     - update to Documentation/preempt-locking.txt (me)
    
     - preempt-safe arch/i386/kernel/ioport.c :: sys_ioperm()
       (George Anzinger)
    
     - remove "kernel_lock()" cruft in include/linux/smp.h
       (Andrew Morton)
    
     - we have a debug check in preempt_schedule that, even
       on detecting a schedule with irqs disabled, still goes
       ahead and reschedules.  We should return. (me)
    
     - preempt-safe net/core/dev.c :: netif_rx() (George Anzinger)
