Add __hard_irqs_disabled() similar to arch_irqs_disabled to check whether irqs
are hard disabled.

Reading the MSR has a cost. Can't we rely on paca->irq_happened being
non-0 ?

(If you are paranoid, add a test of msr as well and warn if there's
a mismatch ...)

Cheers,

I have some patches that ensure MSR_EE is never 0, what are we protecting
against - external interrupts, IPI's or something else? I suspect its IPI's
