After going over things, I think that I'll redo my patch on top of that
one, as it means that architectures that can optimize away the save/restore
of irq flags will be able to benefit from that. Maybe after all this is
said and done we can clean things up sufficiently to be able to inline the
inc/dec where it is simple enough to do so.
