/*
* New proposed "bottom half" handlers:
* (C) 1994 Kai Petzke, wpp@marie.physik.tu-berlin.de
*
* Advantages:
* - Bottom halfs are implemented as a linked list. You can have as many
* of them, as you want.
* - No more scanning of a bit field is required upon call of a bottom half.
* - Support for chained bottom half lists. The run_task_queue() function can be
* used as a bottom half handler. This is for example useful for bottom
* halfs, which want to be delayed until the next clock tick.
*
* Problems:
* - The queue_task_irq() inline function is only atomic with respect to itself.
* Problems can occur, when queue_task_irq() is called from a normal system
* call, and an interrupt comes in. No problems occur, when queue_task_irq()
* is called from an interrupt or bottom half, and interrupted, as run_task_queue()
* will not be executed/continued before the last interrupt returns. If in
* doubt, use queue_task(), not queue_task_irq().
* - Bottom halfs are called in the reverse order that they were linked into
* the list.

* To activate a bottom half on your list, use:
*
* queue_task(tq_pointer, &my_bh);

* To run the bottom halfs on your list put them on the immediate list by:
*
* queue_task(&run_my_bh, &tq_immediate);

* This allows you to do deferred procession. For example, you could
