Oh one other quick thing I just noticed: you could put this debug
check into your soft_enabled accessors.

We did decide it's okay for your masking level to go both ways,
didn't we? I.e.,

local_irq_disable();
local_irq_pmu_save(flags);
local_irq_pmu_restore(flags);
local_irq_enable();

-> LINUX -> LINUX|PMU -> LINUX ->

This means PMU interrupts would not get replayed despite being
enabled here. In practice I think that doesn't matter/can't happen
because a PMU interrupt while masked would hard disable anyway. A
comment explaining it might be nice though.

Thanks,
Nick
