This cannot be applied since on ARMv5 we have to do something different,
see the disable_irq macro:

#if __LINUX_ARM_ARCH__ >= 6
	.macro	disable_irq
	cpsid	i
	.endm

	.macro	enable_irq
	cpsie	i
	.endm
#else
	.macro	disable_irq
	msr	cpsr_c, #PSR_I_BIT | SVC_MODE
	.endm

	.macro	enable_irq
	msr	cpsr_c, #SVC_MODE
	.endm
#endif


Note, for now it's ok to have this a compile time decision, but this
should become a runtime decision over time.
