4    These routines disable soft interrupts on the local CPU, and
5    restore them.  They are reentrant; if soft interrupts were
6    disabled before, they will still be disabled after this pair
7    of functions has been called.  They prevent softirqs and tasklets
8    from running on the current CPU.
