x86: Tell about irq stack coverage x86-64 runs irq_exit() under the irq stack. So it can afford to run softirqs in hardirq exit without the need to switch the stacks. The hardirq stack is good enough for that. Now x86-64 runs softirqs in the hardirq stack anyway, so what we mostly skip is some needless per cpu refcounting updates there. x86-32 is not concerned because it only runs the irq handler on the irq stack.
