Editing init/main.c:
        preempt_disable();
        if (!irqs_disabled())
                printk("start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled early\n");
                printk("BLAAT17");
        build_all_zonelists();
        if (!irqs_disabled())
                printk("start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled early\n");
                printk("BLAAT18");
        page_alloc_init();
        if (!irqs_disabled())
                printk("start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled early\n");
                printk("BLAAT19");
        printk(KERN_NOTICE "Kernel command line: %s\n", saved_command_line);
        parse_early_param();
        if (!irqs_disabled())
                printk("start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled early\n");
                printk("BLAAT20");
        parse_args("Booting kernel", command_line, __start___param,
                   __stop___param - __start___param,
                   &unknown_bootoption);
                printk("BLAAT21");
        if (!irqs_disabled())
                printk("start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled early\n");
        sort_main_extable();
        if (!irqs_disabled())
                printk("start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled early\n");
                printk("BLAAT22");
        trap_init();
        if (!irqs_disabled())
                printk("start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled early\n");
                printk("BLAAT23");

Results in:

Hmmm, that actually doesn't make sense to me (unless parse_args is able to enable irq's).
