You can use inline asm code, as example:

#define __disable_interrupt() asm volatile ("msr     CPSR_c, #0x9F")
#define __enable_interrupt() asm volatile ("msr     CPSR_c, #0x1F")

Note, the above code assumes you are running in system mode. You may
have to read the CPSR, change the I bit and then write it back to make
it perfectly general.
