Subject: [PATCH 2/3] softirq: Add function to preempt serving softirqs.
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.8/older/patches-6.8.2-rt11.tar.xz
Add a functionality for the softirq handler to preempt its current work
if needed. The softirq core has no particular state. It reads and resets
the pending softirq bits and then processes one after the other.
It can already be preempted while it invokes a certain softirq handler.
By enabling the BH the softirq core releases the per-CPU bh lock which
serializes all softirq handler. It is safe to do as long as the code
does not expect any serialisation in between. A typical scenarion would
after the invocation of callback where no state needs to be preserved
before the next callback is invoked.
Add functionaliry to preempt the serving softirqs.
