Revisiting this in light of ongoing 2 priority interrupt support for HS38 cores.
It seems there is no need to fiddle with interrupt bits here at all.
init/main.c now has well known checkpoints where it explicitly disables the
interrupts in early boot code and enables them when time is right. So when we land
in arc_init_IRQ() interrupts have already been disabled.
So I'm dropping this patch and instead adding another one which removes the intr
bits touching part !
OK ?
