Hang on, maybe there's some confusion about this. trace_hardirqs_off() is
for Linux irqs (i.e., local_irq_disable()), so that should continue to
test just the LINUX mask I think. Otherwise this

    powerpc_local_pmu_disable();
    hard_irq_disable();

Will miss calling trace_hardirqs_off(). You don't have a function that
disables PMU irqs without Linux irqs, but one might exist.

What I was concerned about is actually setting the disable mask to ALL

  	local_paca->soft_enabled = IRQ_DISABLE_MASK_ALL;

No? Otherwise if you did

    powerpc_local_irq_pmu_disable();
    hard_irq_disable();

Then you would lose the PMU bit out of the mask.

Thanks,
Nick
