Sure.

On other architectures, we might just turn this logic around, and only
disable softirqs when IRQs are enabled, as otherwise, there is no
need: we don't care about whether or not IRQs are disabled, only the
softirq plumbing that we need to call into does, and no softirqs can
be delivered over the back of a hard IRQ when those are disabled to
begin with.

Sounds good.
