urgh, sorry.

OK, that patch was misdescribed.  It in fact added the <asm/hardirq.h>
includes to arch/avr32/kernel/traps.c and arch/sh/kernel/traps_32.c.

The "sparc fix" was Sam's patch:


which did get included.

yes, there were some nasty problems liek that.  In several cases we wimped
out and added the necessary includes to the .c file.  Will that (sad hack)
work here?

I'll try that but if other gremlins pop up I'll simply
add a linux/hardirq.h include to arch/sparc/include/asm/local.h
