I think the arbitration (& serialization) is already being provided by 
irq_lock.

Fine will make them to use a single set of low level routines.

Fine will try to do away with use rmw operation for pm_ier by
maintaining a bit mask of enabled interrupts (just like pm_irq_mask).

But isn't this applicable to rps work item also ?.
If there is a way found to circumvent this, then same can be applied to 
GuC work item also. DISABLE_RPM_WAKEREF_ASSERTS is a stopgap solution.

Fine will add the work item reset part in this patch only.
