I'm not sure pushing this in at this point is a good idea, if I'm reading it correctly we've no idea what KM_IRQ is being used for, and this codepath is called from non-irq contexts just as much as irq contexts. I'd rather we just backout the hangcheck stuff touching copies at all at this point, and try again doing it properly with a slow work or something for later. Dave.
