    Nothing comes to mind right now...

    The radix tree is used by the powerpc IRQ subsystem with some hand-made
    locking that involves per-cpu variables among others, you may want to
    have a look at arch/powerpc/kernel/irq.c ... It should all be GFP_ATOMIC
    though, but if -rt can't cope with even GFP_ATOMIC when preempt is off,
    then we have a deeper problem (the allocation of the page for RCU in
    freeing page tables is another one that will GFP_ATOMIC in
    non-preemptible context afaik).

    Ben.
