I was just calling into question 1. the benefit (does it improve
performance?) and 2. the code style (is it less portable?).

It's really the style question that mostly interests me because I've had
to code around the nested interrupt situation before, and everytime it
comes up it makes me wonder about the necessity.

I was not trying to veto your patch. It is not my position to do that. If
Broadcom likes the patch, that's great.
