/* This function must be called with interrupts disabled

which hasn't been true for some time, and is even less true now that
local IRQs don't get disabled. Does this matter... for UP?

I disable local IRQs during gettimeofday() on sparc.

These locks definitely need to be taken with IRQs disabled.
Why isn't x86 doing that?
