Looks good to me. Btw perhaps we may simplify it a bit:

case HARDLOCKUP:
local_irq_disable();
case SOFTLOCKUP:
preempt_disable();
for (;;)
cpu_relax();
break;

since it'll save a few bytes. What do you think? Did I miss
something?

It would make the code a bit less clear in that people
might stick on the reason to disable preemption after disabling
irq, especially with a code that already does something rather
unusual ;)
