Please add a comment that explains the purpose of local_irq_save() and
local_irq_restore(). Please also explain why you chose to disable interrupts
instead of disabling preemption. I think that disabling preemption should be
sufficient since this is the only code that updates rq->aborted_gstate and
since this function is always called from thread context.

Is the race that the comment refers to addressed by one of the later patches?
