init: scream bloody murder if interrupts are enabled too early
As I was testing a lot of my code recently, and having several "successes", I accidentally noticed in the dmesg this little line: start_kernel(): bug: interrupts were enabled *very* early, fixing it Sure enough, one of my patches two commits ago enabled interrupts early. The sad part here is that I never noticed it, and I ran several tests with ktest too, and ktest did not notice this line. What ktest looks for (and so does many other automated testing scripts) is a back trace produced by a WARN_ON() or BUG(). As a back trace was never produced, my buggy patch could have slipped into linux-next, or even worse, mainline. Adding a WARN(!irqs_disabled()) makes this bug a little more obvious: PID hash table entries: 4096 (order: 3, 32768 bytes) __ex_table already sorted, skipping sort Checking aperture... No AGP bridge found Calgary: detecting Calgary via BIOS EBDA area Calgary: Unable to locate Rio Grande table in EBDA - bailing!

The original version of this patch just slapped a WARN_ON() in there and kept the printk(). Ard van Breemen suggested using the WARN() interface, which makes the code a bit cleaner. Also, while examining other warnings in init/main.c, I found two other locations that deserve a bloody murder scream if their conditions are hit, and updated them accordingly.
