I've come to realize there is an issue with that sequence. If the CPU 
has { PSR.I = 1, PMR = unmasked }, attempting attempting to restore 
flags { PSR.I = 0, PMR = masked }, there will be that ever so small 
window between the two instructions where interrupts get re-enabled 
while both contexts (the current one and the one being restored) have 
interrupts disabled...

Does that ever happen? Yes, when coming from a kernel entry or coming 
back from a VHE guest and doing "local_daif_retore(DAIF_PROCCTX_NOIRQ)".

An obvious, always working solution would be to do:
	msr daifset, #2
	msr ICC_PMR_EL1, %1
	msr daif, %0
	dsb sy

This however has some heavy performance hit on hackbench (~4-5%).

So I'd suggest:
	msr ICC_PMR_EL1, %1
	msr daif, %0
	dsb sy

So, this only reverses the issue to the case where we restore { PSR.I = 
1, PMR = unmasked } while CPU has { PSR.I = 0, PMR = masked }?
Yes, *but* there is no reason this should happen:

- There is no pre-defined flags values that provide { PSR.I = 1, PMR = 
unmasked } (and there is no reason to be one once we start using priorities)

- If flags { PMR = unmasked, PSR.I = 1 } where obtained through 
local_irq_save() or local_irq_save_flags(), from that point one would 
need to mask PMR *and* explicitly modify PSR.I since local_enable_irq() 
no longer touches PSR.
The only code that has a reason to do this explicit change is PMR setup 
code at CPU startup and when coming from exception entry. And code doing 
such action has no reason to be between local_irq_save/restore() calls 
since that would simply undo its action...

So my take is that restoring the PMR register first is fine without 
masking PSR.I with the following comment:

/*
  * Code switching from PSR.I interrupt disabling to PMR masking
  * should not lie between consecutive calls to local_irq_save()
  * and local_irq_restore() in the same context.
  */

Does this approach seem sound? (If my explanation was not to confusing)
Am I missing some corner case?
Any suggestions for better approach? Or better wording?

Thanks,
