After applying preempt disable patch, i.e PATCH 2/3, Christian reported
a subsequent warning stopping his board to boot properly.
WARNING: at .kvmppc_fix_ee_before_entry+0x10/0x28, CPU#0: qemu-system-ppc/4667
CPU: 0 UID: 1000 PID: 4667 Comm: qemu-system-ppc Tainted: G W

It triggers below warning...
static inline void kvmppc_fix_ee_before_entry(void)
{
trace_hardirqs_on();
/*
* To avoid races, the caller must have gone directly from having
* interrupts fully-enabled to hard-disabled.
*/
WARN_ON(local_paca->irq_happened != PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS);
This happens since kvmppc_prepare_to_enter does first local_irq_disable
followed by hard_irq_disable. This leaves a small window where interrupt
may occur and it could set the irq pending bit in PACA.
That local_irq_disable was necessary for PPC32 to track the lockdep
state etc. On PPC64 hard_irq_disable is good enough. There is no need to
do both. Use the new irq api to do the necessary one.
