The current arch interfaces don't have a "clean" way to do this right  
now.

I can hack it in via:

iflag = disable_interrupts()
if (iflag) {
	enable_interrupts()
	printf("interrupts are enabled\n");
} else {
	printf("interrupts are disabled\n");
}

If this isn't ok, I'd request you take this patch and I'll look at  
adding an get_irqflags() to all the arches and add support to print  
the interrupt state based on that.
