Instead of relying on smp_prepare_cpus() (via check_nmi_watchdog()) or
init_xen_time() (via init_platform_timer() -> plt_overflow())
implicitly enabling interrupts, enable them explicitly once safe to do
so (it may actually be possible to move this even further up, but I
don't think that would buy us much).
