 > Interrupts are blocked in SDEI context, per the SDEI spec: "The client
 > interrupts cannot preempt the event handler." If we crashed in the SDEI
 > handler-running context (as with ACPI's AGDI) then we need to clean 
up the
 > SDEI state before proceeding to the crash kernel so that the crash kernel
 > can have working interrupts.
 >
 > Track the active SDEI handler per-cpu so that we can COMPLETE_AND_RESUME
 > the handler, discarding the interrupted context.

code and CPU masking")
