Let me try to be more clear: IRQ_STACKS should be introduced in the
previous patch, which adds per-cpu stacks to hardirq. This patch adds
per-cpu stacks for softirq, and the softirq related selects:

 select HAVE_IRQ_EXIT_ON_IRQ_STACK
 select HAVE_SOFTIRQ_ON_OWN_STACK

Hence, the "HAVE_IRQ_EXIT_ON_IRQ_STACK" select should be part of *this*
patch, not the previous.

Or am I missing something?
