* The least significant bit can be cleared this way, and it

+ * Now the TRANSITION bit breaks the above slightly. The TRANSITION bit

+ * This is needed because there's a lag between the changing of
+ * interrupt context and updating the preempt count. In this case,

+ * is allowed, and this is done by the TRANSITION bit. If the TRANSITION

+ * ends. Otherwise, the TRANSITION bit is set, and that bit is returned.

+ * if an interrupt comes in while NORMAL bit is set and the ring buffer
+ * is called before preempt_count() is updated, since the check will
+ * be on the NORMAL bit, the TRANSITION bit will then be set. If an
+ * NMI then comes in, it will set the NMI bit, but when the NMI code
+ * does the trace_recursive_unlock() it will clear the TRANSTION bit
+ * and leave the NMI bit set. But this is fine, because the interrupt
+ * code that set the TRANSITION bit will then clear the NMI bit when it
+ * calls trace_recursive_unlock(). If another NMI comes in, it will
+ * set the TRANSITION bit and continue.
