Not going to happen. The reason we do it is because most of the CPUs
have to (slowly) flush their caches during switch_mm(), and to have
IRQs off over the cache flush means that we lose IRQs.
So it's not silly at all, bit a technical requirement imposed by the
cache architecture.
If it's become expensive through development, it suggests that the
development did not take account of the issues we have on ARM.
