Also please notice that intr enable/disable happens in the wrong way
as it is done via the MD (x86 specific likely) interface. This is
wrong for 2 reasons:
1) There may be some codepaths leading to explicit preemption
2) It should really use an MI interface
The right way to do this should be via spinlock_enter().
