* NB: Unlike exception entries, IRQ entries do not reliably
* handle context tracking in the low-level entry code. This is
* because syscall entries execute briefly with IRQs on before
* updating context tracking state, so we can take an IRQ from
* kernel mode with CONTEXT_USER. The low-level entry code only
* updates the context if we came from user mode, so we won't
* switch to CONTEXT_KERNEL. We'll fix that once the syscall
* code is cleaned up enough that we can cleanly defer enabling
* IRQs.
