I don't have the brain space to understand this patch set fully at
the moment.  I'll note that the realtime folks are doing their best to
stamp out users of local_irq_disable(), so they won't be pleased to see
you adding a new one.  Also, you removed the comment explaining why the
lock needed to be taken.
