[PATCH] powerpc/irq: Run softirqs off the top of the irq stack

Nowadays, irq_exit() calls __do_softirq() pretty much directly
instead of calling do_softirq() which switches to the decicated
softirq stack.
This has lead to observed stack overflows on powerpc since we call
irq_enter() and irq_exit() outside of the scope that switches to
the irq stack.
This fixes it by moving the stack switching up a level, making
irq_enter() and irq_exit() run off the irq stack.

This is the "band aid" discussed so far for the stack overflow
problem for powerpc. I assume sparc and i386 at least need
something similar (I had a quick look at ARM and it doesn't
seem to have irq stacks at all).
Unless objection in the next day or so, I intend to send that to
Linus and to -stable ASAP.
