However, it might be worth experimenting setting the corresponding
bits in the PACA as well, as this will diminish the latency of
processing them.
IE. local_irq_enable() will see the bit, generate an interrupt
frame and call the handler which is a faster path than re-enabling
MSR:EE and then taking an external interrupt.
Cheers,
Ben.
