What is the status of these projects?

- get rid of save_flags_cli, use local_irq_save instead

There are lots of these that still need work, but we are not looking for a mechanical find&replace substitution of these deprecated functions. See linux/Documentation/cli-sti-removal.txt for details. In lots of cases, it will mean adding spinlocks and understanding the driver enough to know what data must be protected... non-trivial...
