At least on x86, 3 and 2 are similar, but 3 is much more expensive than
1! See https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/5/835:
Cost of: CLI insn same-IF : 0 cycles
Cost of: CLI insn flip-IF : 0 cycles
Cost of: STI insn same-IF : 0 cycles
Cost of: STI insn flip-IF : 0 cycles
Cost of: PUSHF insn : 0 cycles
Cost of: POPF insn same-IF : 20 cycles
Cost of: POPF insn flip-IF : 28 cycles
Cost of: local_irq_save() fn : 20 cycles
Cost of: local_irq_restore() fn same-IF : 24 cycles
Cost of: local_irq_restore() fn flip-IF : 28 cycles
Cost of: irq_save()+restore() fn same-IF : 48 cycles
Cost of: irq_save()+restore() fn flip-IF : 48 cycles
