A change in the generic code highlighted that we were running with IRQs (soft) enabled on Book3E 64-bit when trying to restart interrupts from handle_exit(). This is a lesson to configure lockdep often :) There is no reason to exit guest with soft_enabled == 1, a local_irq_enable() call will do this for us so get rid of kvmppc_layz_ee() calls. With this fix we eliminate irqs_disabled() warnings and some guest and host hangs revealed under stress tests, but guests still exhibit some unresponsiveness. The unresponsiveness has to do with the fact that arch_local_irq_restore() does not guarantees to hard enable interrupts. To do so replace exception function calls like timer_interrupt() with irq_happened flags. The local_irq_enable() call takes care of replaying them and lets the interrupts hard enabled.
