Implement arch specific irqsafe_cpu ops. The arch specific ops do not
disable/enable interrupts since that is an expensive operation. Instead
we disable preemption and perform a compare and swap loop.
Since on server distros (the ones we care about) preemption is disabled
the preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair is a nop.
In the end this code should be faster than the generic one.
