Subject: [PATCH 35/37] softirq: Allow to soft interrupt vector-specific masked contexts

Remove the old protections that prevented softirqs from interrupting any
softirq-disabled context. Now that we can disable specific vectors on
a given piece of code, we want to be able to soft-interrupt those places
with other vectors.
