Mark tripped over the creative irqflags handling in the IO-APIC timer
delivery check which ends up doing:
local_irq_save(flags);
local_irq_enable();
local_irq_restore(flags);
which triggered a new consistency check he's working on required for
replacing the POPF based restore with a conditional STI.
That code is a historical mess and none of this is needed. Make it
straightforward use local_irq_disable()/enable() as that's all what is
required. It is invoked from interrupt enabled code nowadays.
