+ * IRQ stack entry and exit:

+ * Unlike i386, UML doesn't receive IRQs on the normal kernel stack

+ * sigaltstack to receive signals on a separate stack from the start.
+ * These two functions make sure the rest of the kernel won't be too
+ * upset by being on a different stack.  The IRQ stack has a
+ * thread_info structure at the bottom so that current et al continue
+ * to work.
+ *
+ * to_irq_stack copies the current task's thread_info to the IRQ stack
+ * thread_info and sets the tasks's stack to point to the IRQ stack.
+ *
+ * from_irq_stack copies the thread_info struct back (flags may have
+ * been modified) and resets the task's stack pointer.
+ *
+ * Tricky bits -
+ *
+ * What happens when two signals race each other?  UML doesn't block
+ * signals with sigprocmask, SA_DEFER, or sa_mask, so a second signal
+ * could arrive while a previous one is still setting up the
+ * thread_info.
+ *
+ * There are three cases -
+ *     The first interrupt on the stack - sets up the thread_info and
+ * handles the interrupt
+ *     A nested interrupt interrupting the copying of the thread_info -
+ * can't handle the interrupt, as the stack is in an unknown state
+ *     A nested interrupt not interrupting the copying of the
+ * thread_info - doesn't do any setup, just handles the interrupt
+ *
+ * The first job is to figure out whether we interrupted stack setup.
+ * This is done by xchging the signal mask with thread_info->pending.
+ * If the value that comes back is zero, then there is no setup in
+ * progress, and the interrupt can be handled.  If the value is
+ * non-zero, then there is stack setup in progress.  In order to have
+ * the interrupt handled, we leave our signal in the mask, and it will
+ * be handled by the upper handler after it has set up the stack.
+ *
+ * Next is to figure out whether we are the outer handler or a nested
+ * one.  As part of setting up the stack, thread_info->real_thread is
+ * set to non-NULL (and is reset to NULL on exit).  This is the
+ * nesting indicator.  If it is non-NULL, then the stack is already
+ * set up and the handler can run.
