exit_idle() should be called after irq_enter(), otherwise it throws:

[ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ]
3.6.5 #1 Not tainted
-------------------------------
include/linux/rcupdate.h:725 rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle!

other info that might help us debug this:

RCU used illegally from idle CPU!
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
RCU used illegally from extended quiescent state!
1 lock held by swapper/0/0:
 #0:  (rcu_read_lock){......}, at: [<ffffffff810e9fe0>] __atomic_notifier_call_chain+0x0/0x140
