    [MIPS] SMTC: Interrupt mask backstop hack · 0db34215
    Kevin D. Kissell authored
    To support multiple TC microthreads acting as "CPUs" within a VPE,
    VPE-wide interrupt mask bits must be specially manipulated during
    interrupt handling. To support legacy drivers and interrupt controller
    management code, SMTC has a "backstop" to track and if necessary restore
    the interrupt mask. This has some performance impact on interrupt service
    overhead. Disable it only if you know what you are doing.
