platform/x86/intel/ifs: Disable irq during one load stage
One of the stages in IFS image loading process involves loading individual chunks (test patterns) from test image file to secure memory. Driver issues a WRMSR(MSR_AUTHENTICATE_AND_COPY_CHUNK) operation to do this. This operation can take up to 5 msec, and if an interrupt occurs in between, the AUTH_AND_COPY_CHUNK u-code implementation aborts the operation. Interrupt sources such as NMI or SMI are handled by retrying. Regular interrupts may occur frequently enough to prevent this operation from ever completing. Disable irq on local cpu around the aforementioned WRMSR to allow the operation to complete.
