Is the migrate_disable() strictly required, or just paranoia?Runtime services might be polling the secure firmware for an async completion when they are interrupted, and so I don't think it is generally safe to assume that an interrupted EFI runtime service can be resumed on another CPU.Can we please get a comment with that migrate_disable() explaining this?
