IRQL != FF for !pcr

In the NT Insider Mar-Apr 2005 issue i read the article saying that the “IRQL is always FF” when executing !pcr. why am i not getting that? here is the !pcr output:

/I had to go check, but it turns out that the interrupt enable bit is
bit 9 […] // This bit is NOT set, and thus on crash this exhibits by
