Hmm. This means you'd like to make enable_irq() fail if called with
IRQ_SUSPENDED set, correct?

What if someone calls irq_disable() and then irq_enable() between
suspend_device_irqs() and resume_device_irqs()? That would be pointless, but
surely not a bug? Should irq_disable() also fail if IRQ_SUSPENDED is set?

Or should __enable_irq() only fail with IRQ_SUSPENDED set for desc->depth == 1?
