Afact this patch contains quite some code refactoring that does not
relate directly to the fix (or if it does, I fail to see the direct
relevance). So I think this either needs an explanation in the commit
message or be put into a separate patch (I agree though for actual code
cleanups).

For the fix itself I seem to be a bit dense again - the only thing I see
is that you move the refcount handling into do_switch. Afacs we do the
ref-handling in both cases only when do_switch is successful, and also
right at the end of do_switch (or right afterwards). So can you please
enlighten your clueless maintainer a bit an explain how things blow up?

Yours, Daniel
