For arm64, I suspect we want the arch code to call the umcg hooks directly,
rather than adding arch_* hooks that get called by the generic
irqentry_irq_{enable,disable}() functions, which doesn't really fit the way we
want to conditionally inherit some mask bits upon entry (depending on the
specific exception taken) and unconditionally mask everything prior to exit.

Ignoring that, arm64 also has separate vectors for exceptions taken from EL0
(userspace) and EL1 (kernel), so we don't need to look at the regs to know that
an exception has been taken from userspace (which we always run with IRQs
unmasked). For patch 5, where we actually add hooks, it'd be cleaner for us to
directly invoke UMCG hooks in our enter_from_user_mode() and
exit_to_user_mode() paths.

That said, if this is useful for other architectures, I don't have a problem
for adding them as generic helpers; I just don't think we should be required to
use them directly, and should make sure the underlying primitives are available
and clearly documented.

Thanks,
Mark.
