It is possible while waiting for multiple types of external

irq consumption and irq-type disabling. Those interrupts
could potentially propagate to the guest after IPL completes
and cause unwanted behavior.
As it is today, the SCLP will only recognize write events that
are enabled by the control program's send and receive masks. To
limit the window for, and prevent further irqs from, ASCII
console events (specifically keystrokes), we should only enable
the control program's receive mask when we need it.
As an additional measure, once we've disabled/cleared the control
program's receive mask, we will print an empty string in order
to consume any pending service interrupt.

Why cant you use consume_sclp_int from start.S and not do any printing?
Shouldnt sclp_set_write_mask always make an interrupt pending?
