[ Upstream commit 59d512e4374b2d8a6ad341475dc94c4a4bdec7d3 ] This is way to catch some cases of decrementer overflow, when the decrementer has underflowed an odd number of times, while MSR[EE] was disabled. With a typical small decrementer, a timer that fires when MSR[EE] is disabled will be "lost" if MSR[EE] remains disabled for between 4.3 and 8.6 seconds after the timer expires. In any case, the decrementer interrupt would be taken at 8.6 seconds and the timer would be found at that point. So this check is for catching extreme latency events, and it prevents those latencies from being a further few seconds long. It's not obvious this is a good tradeoff. This is already a watchdog magnitude event and that situation is not improved a significantly with this check. For large decrementers, it's useless. Therefore remove this check, which avoids a mftb when enabling hard disabled interrupts (e.g., when enabling after coming from hardware interrupt handlers). Perhaps more importantly, it also removes the clunky MSR[EE] vs PACA_IRQ_HARD_DIS incoherency in soft-interrupt replay which simplifies the code.
