Can the workaround for the case where CONFIG_4KSTACKS is not defined
really be as simple as

#define irq_exit()

in "modules/GPL/oscompat.h"?  I seem to be getting away with it on the
2.6.24-rc6 kernel as I type this...  Got the idea by inspecting the x86
32-bit code and noticing there seems to be no do_softirq() function
defined unless CONFIG_4KSTACKS is defined, so the removal of
EXPORT_SYMBOL(do_softirq) from the kernel source doesn't seem to be the
real issue here.
