I think this patch is actually a bit too complicated.

Don't do this whole separate list. Instead, just add a per-irq-descriptor 
flag to the desc->status field that says "suspended". IOW, just do 
something like

	diff --git a/include/linux/irq.h b/include/linux/irq.h
	index f899b50..7bc2a31 100644
	--- a/include/linux/irq.h
	+++ b/include/linux/irq.h
	@@ -65,6 +65,7 @@ typedef	void (*irq_flow_handler_t)(unsigned int irq,
	 #define IRQ_SPURIOUS_DISABLED	0x00800000	/* IRQ was disabled by the spurious trap */
	 #define IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT		0x01000000	/* IRQ migration from process context */
	 #define IRQ_AFFINITY_SET	0x02000000	/* IRQ affinity was set from userspace*/
	+#define IRQ_SUSPENDED		0x04000000	/* IRQ has gone through suspend sequence */
	 
	 #ifdef CONFIG_IRQ_PER_CPU
	 # define CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU(var) ((var) & IRQ_PER_CPU)

and then just make the suspend sequence do

	for_each_irq_desc(irq, desc) {
		.. check desc if we should disable it ..
		disable_irq(irq);
		desc->status |= IRQ_SUSPENDED;
	}

and the resume sequence do

	for_each_irq_desc(irq, desc) {
		if (!(desc->status & IRQ_SUSPENDED))
			continue;
		desc->status &= ~IRQ_SUSPENDED;
		enabled_irq(irq);
	}

And that simplifcation then gets rid of

this just goes away.

This is also pointless and wrong (and buggy). You should use '&' to 
test that flag, not '|', but more importantly, if you share interrupts 
with a timer irq, there's nothing sane the irq layer can do ANYWAY, so 
just ignore the whole problem. Just look at the first one, don't try to be 
clever, because your clever code doesn't buy anything at all. 

So get rid of the loop, and just do

	if (desc->action && !(desc->action->flags & IRQF_TIMER)) {
		desc->depth++;
		desc->status |= IRQ_DISABLED | IRQ_SUSPENDED;
		desc->chip->disable(irq);
	}
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&desc->lock, flags);

and you're done.

Also, I'd actually suggest that the whole "synchronize_irq()" be handled 
in a separate loop after the main one, so make that one just be

	for_each_irq_desc(irq, desc) {
		if (desc->status & IRQ_SUSPENDED)
			serialize_irq(irq);
	}

at the end. No need for desc->lock, since the IRQ_SUSPENDED bit is stable.	

Finally:

I think the naming is not great. It's not about disable/enable, it's very 
much about suspend/resume. In your version, it had that global 
"disabled_irq" list, and in mine it has that IRQ_SUSPENDED bit - and in 
both cases you can't nest things, and you can't consider them in any way 
"generic" enable/disable things, they are very specialized "shut up 
everything but the timer irq".

I also don't think there is any reasonable error case, so just make the 
"suspend" thing return 'void', and don't complicate the caller. We don't 
error out on the simple "disable_irq()" either. It's a imperative 
statement, not a "please can you try to do that" thing.
