irqflags.h depends on asm-offsets.h, but asm-offsets.h depends
on irqflags.h when generating asm-offsets.h. Adding a definition
to the top of asm-offsets.c allows us to break this circle. There
is a similar define in bounds.c

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] MIPS: irqflags.h: make funcs preempt-safe for non-mipsr2
For non MIPSr2 processors, such as the BMIPS 5000, calls to
arch_local_irq_disable() and others may be preempted, and in doing
so a stale value may be restored to c0_status. This fix disables
preemption for such processors prior to the call and enables it
after the call.
This bug was observed in a BMIPS 5000, occuring once every few hours
in a continuous reboot test. It was traced to the write_lock_irq()
function which was being invoked in release_task() in exit.c.
By placing a number of "nops" inbetween the mfc0/mtc0 pair in
arch_local_irq_disable(), which is called by write_lock_irq(), we
were able to greatly increase the occurance of this bug. Similarly,
the application of this commit silenced the bug.
It is better to use the preemption functions declared in <linux/preempt.h>
rather than defining new ones as is done in this commit. However,
including that file from irqflags effected many compiler errors.
