PATCH 1/1 Optimize i8259 code a bit.

The timer code always calls the clock_event_device set_net_event and set_mode methods with interrupts disabled, so no need to use spin_lock_irqsave / spin_unlock_irqrestore for those.

The timer code always calls the clock_event_device set_net_event and set_mode methods with interrupts disabled, so no need to use spin_lock_irqsave / spin_unlock_irqrestore for those.

Good point,
