True, there is quite a lot to repeat of what x86 does, I was in a hurry
and did not think it through :)

True. Or we could keep these lockdep_stats::redundant_softirqs_on/etc
and make powerpc_local_irq_pmu_restore()/local_irq_restore() call
trace_hardirqs_on() always and let lockdep do reference counting, may be?
