The intent was to document the entry points in were to be common
dma-fence functions where irqs were expected to be off. Similarly for
breadcrumbs to indicate that they were inner functions dealing with
irq-sensitive locks that the caller had to disable irqs for. lockdep is
not the clearest when it comes to explaining irq-inversions.

Given the context though, they are moot.
