Is there any reason to keep interrupt_enabled()? It appears to be rarely used
across interrupt and exception code. So far, i've only found a single use in
gic_handle_irq(), corret me if i'm wrong. So using regs_irqs_disable() directly
might reduce the number of small helper that people need to remember.
