Unclear.
acpi_enter_idle_bm() assumes that it is entered with irqs enabled,
and so it we unconditionally disables IRQs.
Then we unconditionally re-enable them.
The problem seems to be that right after we enable them,
we find that they are actually disabled, perhaps as
a side-effect of SMM.
Is your machine a Dell, per chance?
