> IRQs and FIQs regardless of superpriority.
> Update irqflags.h and `regs_irqs_disabled()` to take it into account,
> so we properly keep track of the local IRQ masking state.

> We have documentation at the top of irqflags.h which explains the DAIF

> covers the IF in DAIF, extend the comment to note what's going on
