No, and I really should have checked, since I'm assuming that's
what will happen. I will check, and may well add the volatile
regardless.

The transaction list is definitely updated in IRQ context,
but I think it is no longer updated in hardirq context (the
softirq was a recent change). This particular function is
definitely not called in a hardirq context, so I can remove
the irqsave/irqrestore.
I'll survey my spinlock use throughout the driver and will
remove any irqsave/irqrestore used in non-hardirq contexts.
Thanks.
