Damn, your logdev email got lost in the noise.  I'm glad you mentioned it

Yes.  That BUG thread that I included you on affects you if hardirqs are
threaded in any preempt mode.  So yes it is a bug in 'complete preempt

Unfortunately, I don't have the time now to fix that.

Perhaps someone else can?
