Thanks!

So far we've relied on EFI not modifying PMR, otherwise we could've
ended up without any interrupts in Linux after coming back from an EFI
service.

Now, the ARM64_HAS_IRQ_PRIO_MASKING only modifies the behaviour of
Linux, but we should have the same expectations from EFI. If we want to
be paranoid we could save/restore PMR along with the DAIF flags.

But you're right, it is fair to add a comment clearly stating that we
expect EFI not to modify PMR. I'll include that in the next posting.

Thanks,

Julien
