See cover letter's:

"This series is a partial series. Follow-on work would allow the local_irq_save
to be converted to a local_irq to avoid IRQs being disabled/enabled in most
cases. However, there are enough corner cases that it deserves a series on its
own separated by one kernel release and the priority right now is to avoid
interference of high priority tasks."
