Two #defs LAZY_INTERRUPT_ENABLED and
LAZY_INTERRUPT_DISABLED are added to be used
when updating paca->soft_enabled.

This is a very nice patchset, but can this not be a new name?

Thanks, but idea is from ben :)
Regarding the name, I looked at the initial patchset posted by
paul and took the name from it :).

But will work on that, any suggestion for the name?

We use "soft enabled/disabled" everywhere for it. I think lazy
is an implementation detail anyway because some interrupts don't
cause a hard disable at all.

Thanks,
Nick
