My original one didn't (there was a race if an interrupt comes in between soft-disabling and hard-disabling, it wouldn't be received until the guest exits for some other reason). Instead, I turned the local_irq_disable() into hard_irq_disable() plus trace_hardirqs_off(). This worked without warnings. -Scott
