That is standard behaviour for a processor to enter interrupt handling
code with interrupts disabled somehow. Otherwise, for level interrupts,
you would get an infinite loop. So, what you should look for in entry.S
are the points where interrupts are re-enabled, because this code is
entered with irqs off, mostly.
