It's credited to Suresh Siddha, whom I've cc'ed (along with others who

math_state_restore always leaves interrupts disabled, regardless of their
state on entry? Is there a deep reason or is it a bug?
What the comments seemed to be implying was that it was a bug to enter
this code with interrupts enabled. So the problem may be a little bit
more systemic; expert counsel is required.
It would be kind of weird for code that requires disabled interrupts on
entry to turn around and enable interrupts itself. I agree that it would
really help for a guru to take a look...
On which note, Suresh's email bounced :-(
