The requirement to disable local irqs over kmap_atomic is long gone,
so remove those calls.
Really ? I'm trying to verify that and getting lost in a mess of macros
from hell in the per-cpu stuff but if you look at our implementation
of kmap_atomic_prot(), all it does is a preempt_disable(), and then
it uses kmap_atomic_idx_push():

	int idx = __this_cpu_inc_return(__kmap_atomic_idx) - 1;

Note the use of __this_cpu_inc_return(), not this_cpu_inc_return(),
ie this is the non-interrupt safe version...

Ben.
