#define local_irq_restore(flags)                                \
        do {                                                    \
                if (raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)) {           \
                        raw_local_irq_restore(flags);           \
                        trace_hardirqs_off();                   \
                } else {                                        \
                        trace_hardirqs_on();                    \
                        raw_local_irq_restore(flags);           \

        } while (0)

So, say interrupts were enabled when entering apm_bios_call*(); you now
save that in flags, disable interrupts, and enable them again.
Upon reaching local_irq_restore(), we'll hit the else branch with irq's
enabled and call trace_hardirqs_on(), which goes EEEK!
