Device interrupts arrive first as high-priority interrupt packets
that are serviced by traps which are enabled only if PSTATE.IE is
set.

These trap handlers reschedule the interrupt quickly into a PIL
levelled interrupt, whose delivery is covered by (%pil & PSTATE.IE)

The sun4v sleeping code requires that we have PSTATE.IE clear over
the cpu sleep hypervisor call.
