It is true we do not expect any IRQs from HW during the recovery. 
Disabling them would increase reliability of the corner case where a GuC 
remains active during migration (due to two migrations where the 2nd is 
triggered at the narrow window at end of recovery from 1st). But - the 
double migration is exactly why we can't disable the IRQs - while VF HW 
isn't running and we can't get anything from that direction, the PF is 
running, and can trigger another migration. To support that, we have 
"defer" path in the post-migration recovery. Disabling IRQs would make 
this "defer" path unreachable, increasing the chances of taking risky 
path with double migration causing GuC to be active during the 2nd recovery.
