I asked about the possibility of renaming the member variable count to
disabled in the struct tasklet_struct. I didn't get any responses to my
question so I thought I'd try asking the question a different way :)
This patch does not make any functional changes to the kernel, but I do
believe it makes the tasklet code more readable.
I have tested this against the 2.4.16 kernel.
Thanks,
