Ok, I don't get crashes any more.  There are all kinds of issues
with the sw watchdog triggering because cpus get slogged in
the scheduler rebalance code, but that's a seperate set of
issues.

Here is the final fix I'll commit.

sparc64: Fix hardirq tracing in trap return path.

We can overflow the hardirq stack if we set the %pil here
so early, just let the normal control flow do it.

This is fine as we are allowed to do the actual IRQ enable
at any point after we call trace_hardirqs_on.

I merged your latest sparc tree and the crashes are gone.

I'm really happy you've solved this. Thanks a lot for having spent
so much time on it!
