What stats are you talking about here?

Please don't change this whitespace. It's really annoying having to
adjust the whitespace when renaming a function. Just two tabs indentation
to give a clear separation of arguments from code is fine.
How about this patch instead? It occurred to me we already have
perfectly good infrastructure to track whether or not interrupts are
already disabled, and so we should use that instead of ensuring that
interrupts are disabled, or tracking that ourselves.
But I may have missed something else that's relying on having
interrupts disabled. Please check carefully.
