Keep interrupts disabled during smp bootup
This avoids a race that breaks SMP bootup on some machines.
The race is not fully plugged (that is only done with much
more changes in 2.6.12), but should be good enough
for most people.
Keeping the interrupts disabled here is ok because we
don't rely on the timer interrupt for local APIC
timer setup, but always read the timer registers
directly.

It could be in a memory hole not mapped in mem_map and that causes the hash
lookup to go off to nirvana.

The PTEs can point to ioremap mappings too, and these are often outside
mem_map. The NUMA hash page lookup functions cannot handle out of bounds
accesses properly.

Allowed user programs to set a non canonical segment base, which would cause
oopses in the kernel later.
