What does it use to do that? A local_irq_enable() in hardirq context
will make lockdep yell bloody murder :-).

Then there is local_irq_enable_in_hardirq(), which plain simply lies
when lockdep is enabled -- IOW it would generate horrid irq latencies.

Not having to deal with IRQ recursion in lockdep helps.
