The use of cli()/sti() within the do/while was a way to ensure interrupts were only disabled for short periods of time while the bulk of the time interrupts were free to occur. The use of the spin lock has eliminated the need to play with interrupts in this way while still allowing for IO to be protected. The remaining 3 sti() calls seem unneeded now that at no other point in the driver is there a call to cli().
