Subject: [PATCH v4 05/19] x86/reboot: Assert that IRQs are disabled when
 turning off virtualization

Assert that IRQs are disabled when turning off virtualization in an
emergency.  KVM enables hardware via on_each_cpu(), i.e. could re-enable
hardware if a pending IPI were delivered after disabling virtualization.

Remove a misleading comment from emergency_reboot_disable_virtualization()
about "just" needing to guarantee the CPU is stable (see above).
