Sorry!  :(  Inline patches are a bit of a pain for me since I'm
certifiably insane and use the gmail web interface for kernel mailing
lists.  Everyone has their pet aversions, I guess.  ;-)

Huh, I thought I'd handled this with the code in irq_set_irq_wake()
which checked if it was pending and did a wakeup.  In any case, I
trust your understanding of this code far better than I trust mine.
How should we proceed then?  Do you want to post up an official patch?

At the moment I don't have any test cases that need your patch since
the interrupts I'm dealing with are not lazily disabled.  However, I
still do agree that it's the right thing to do.

OK, so we're back in Maulik's court to spin, right?  I think the last
word before our tangent was at:

http://lore.kernel.org/r/87y2m1vhkm.fsf@nanos.tec.linutronix.de

There you were leaning towards #2 ("a new function
disable_wakeup_irq_for_suspend()").  Presumably you'd now be
suggesting #1 ("Do the symmetric thing") since I've pointed out the
bunch of drivers that would need to change.
