In traditional kexec, the new kernel will replace current one, so the
irq is simply disabled. But now jumping back from kexeced kernel is
supported, so the irq should be enabled again.

The code sequence of irq during kexec jump is as follow:

local_irq_disable(); /* in kernel_kexec() */
local_irq_disable(); /* in machine_kexec() */
local_irq_enable(); /* in kernel_kexec() */

The disable and enable is not match. Maybe another method is to use
local_irq_save(), local_irq_restore() pair in machine_kexec(), so the
disable and enable is matched.

Best Regrards,
