+Subject: [PATCH 026/195] softirq: Add function to preempt serving softirqs.
+
+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.
