> irq: Ensure irq_exit() code runs with interrupts disabled
>
> We had already a few problems with code called from irq_exit() when
> interrupted from a nesting interrupt. This can happen on architectures
> which do not define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED.
>
> __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED should go away and we want to make it
> mandatory to call irq_exit() with interrupts disabled.
>
> As a temporary protection disable interrupts for those architectures
> which do not define __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED and add a WARN_ONCE
> when an architecture which defines __ARCH_IRQ_EXIT_IRQS_DISABLED calls
> irq_exit() with interrupts enabled.
