I tried that once many years ago and IIRC there were problems - but maybe we 
could 
try it again and enforce it, as I agree that the following pattern:

        local_irq_disable();
        ...
                local_irq_disable();
                ...
                local_irq_enable();
        ...
        local_irq_enable();

.. is actively dangerous.

Thanks,

        Ingo
