Re: [POC 1/6] irq & spin_lock: Add counted interrupt disabling/enabling

[Lyude Paul <lyude@redhat.com>]

I like this so far (at least, assuming we consider making 
raw_spin_lock_irq_disable() and enable() temporary names, and then following
up with some automated conversions across the kernel using coccinelle).

This would definitely dramatically simplify things on the rust end as well,
and also clean up C code since we won't have to explicitly keep previous IRQ
flag information around. We can -technically- handle interfaces that allow for
re-enabling interrupts temporarily, but the safety contract I came up with for
doing that is so complex this would clearly be the better option. Then all of
it can be safe :)

As well too - this might give us the opportunity to add error checking for
APIs for stuff like Condvar on the C end: as we could add an explicit function
like:

__local_interrupts_enable

That helper code for things like conditional variables can use for "enable
interrupts, and warn if that's not possible due to a previous interrupt
decrement".
