A CPU that gets stuck with interrupts hard disable can be difficult to debug, as on some platforms we have no way to interrupt the CPU to find out what it's doing. A stop-gap is to have the CPU save it's stack pointer (r1) in its paca when it hard disables interrupts. That way if we can't interrupt it, we can at least trace the stack based on where it last disabled interrupts. In some cases that will be total junk, but the stack trace code should handle that. In the simple case of a CPU that disable interrupts and then gets stuck in a loop, the stack trace should be informative. We could clear the saved stack pointer when we enable interrupts, but that loses information which could be useful if we have nothing else to go on.
