Maybe.. Didn't notice that there's a helper which does exactly this.

Correct, thanks for spotting. This is a left-over from some other
(unsubmitted) functionality I was working on. In the submitted variant,
nothing runs in softirq context, and thus, bottom halves don't need to
be disabled.

If there's nothing functionally broken, I think I'd prefer to address
both comments with follow-up patches rather than respinning this 10-patch
series. The build testing for this series still has not finished yet,
since yesterday.

Thanks for reviewing.
