From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@xxxxxxxxxx>
The CPU will go to idle with interrupts off, but the interrupts
will wake up the idle. This was causing very long irqsoff trace
values because, basically, the whole idle time was traces with
irqs off, even though they weren't really off. Rework the idle
code to turn hardirq tracing to on befor calling idle.

I'm not sure this is correct for all ARM boards, but it fixes the
issue for the Vexpress board I have. No more 4 second irqsoff
times.
