Linux interrupt handling has top and bottom halves. Latter lead to softirqs (which can reschedule) AND expect interrupts to be REALLY re-enabled which was NOT happening for us since we only SETI, dont clear IRQ_ACT So we can have a state when both cores have taken interrupt (IRQ_ACT set), get rescheduled, both send IPI and wait in CSD lock which will never be cleared as cores can't take the pending IPI IRQ due to existing IRQ_ACT set. So local_irq_enable() now drops the IRQ_ACT.act bit to re-enable IRQs.
