__serial_rx() runs in either irq handler or timer handler and non-irq

If the machine is hung with an IRQ handler being stuck, and
one does 'Ctrl-Ax3` followed by 'C' .. which would not be invoked
(as it is not an IRQ handler??

If serial port's interrupt still works in this case, the 'C'
keyhandler kexec_crash() will be invoked in a tasklet. This behavior was
changed by my patches if includes this patch.

Sorry. A typo. I meant the behavior wasn't changed by my patches.


As indicated already by Konrad's reply, this is not going to be
acceptable.
