But the interrupts are enabled in C from arch_cpu_idle(), which
only then calls the ASM __arch_cpu_idle(). So if the interrupt happens
somewhere in between the call, the rollback (or fast-forward now)
doesn't apply.

I guess interrupts need to be re-enabled from ASM in the beginning
of __arch_cpu_idle() so that it's part of the fast-forward region.

The same seem to apply with interrupts being re-enabled by r4k_wait().

Thanks.
