Actually, on most architectures interrupts are in fact disabled:
#define this_cpu_generic_to_op(pcp, val, op) \
do { \
unsigned long __flags; \
raw_local_irq_save(__flags); \
raw_cpu_generic_to_op(pcp, val, op); \
raw_local_irq_restore(__flags); \
} while (0)
NMIs, not so much.

I would also argue a lot of things, but objective reality does not take my
opinions into account all that often. Which might be a good thing. ;-)
Thanx, Paul
