I'm going to commit it. The reason is that we should never do an sti
unless we are prepared to take a device interrupt, and we are not. I
think it is an error to do an sti at this point. Also, just doing a
cli/sti without determining that interrupts were enabled in the first
place is also a mistake.

Thanks. Rene, this will fix your problem on qemu.
