Code placement nit: please dont put new #ifdef blocks into the 
core IRQ code, add a kernel/irq/power.c file instead and make 
the kbuild rule depend on PM_SLEEP.

The new suspend_device_irqs() and resume_device_irqs() doesnt 
use any manage.c internals so this should work straight away.

Optimization/code-flow nit: a possibility might be to do a 
single loop, i.e. i think it's safe to couple the disable+sync 
bits [as in 99.99% of the cases there will be no in-execution 
irq handlers when we execute this.]

Something like:

		int do_sync = 0;

		spin_lock_irqsave(&desc->lock, flags);

		if (!desc->depth && desc->action
		    && !(desc->action->flags & IRQF_TIMER)) {

			desc->depth++;
			desc->status |= IRQ_DISABLED | IRQ_SUSPENDED;
			desc->chip->disable(irq);
			do_sync = 1;
		}

		spin_unlock_irqrestore(&desc->lock, flags);

		if (do_sync)
			synchronize_irq(irq);

In fact i'd suggest to factor out this logic into a separate 
__suspend_irq(irq) / __resume_irq(irq) inline helper functions. 
(They should be inline for the time being as they are not 
shared-irq-safe so they shouldnt really be exposed to drivers in 
such a singular capacity.)

Doing so will also fix the line-break ugliness of the first 
branch - as in a standalone function the condition fits into a 
single line.

There's a performance reason as well: especially when we have a 
lot of IRQ descriptors that will be about twice as fast. (with a 
large iteration scope this function is cachemiss-limited and 
doing this passes doubles the cachemiss rate.)

Robustness+optimization nit: this will work but could be done in 
a nicer way: enable_irq() should auto-clear IRQ_SUSPENDED. (We 
already clear flags there so it's even a tiny bit faster this 
way.)

We definitely dont want IRQ_SUSPENDED to 'leak' out into an 
enabled line, should something call enable_irq() on a suspended 
line. So either make it auto-unsuspend in enable_irq(), or add 
an extra WARN_ON() to enable_irq(), to make sure IRQ_SUSPENDED 
is always off by that time.

Please. We just disabled all devices - a BUG_ON() is a very 
counter-productive thing to do here - chances are the user will 
never see anything but a hang. So please turn this into a nice 
WARN_ONCE().

Header cleanliness nit: please dont just throw new prototypes to 
the tail of headers, but think about where they fit in best, 
logically.

These two new prototypes should go straight after the normal irq 
line state management functions:

  extern void disable_irq_nosync(unsigned int irq);
  extern void disable_irq(unsigned int irq);
  extern void enable_irq(unsigned int irq);

Perhaps also with a comment like this:

/*

 * core kernel use only.

Small drive-by style nit: while at it could you please fix the 
capitalization and the naming of the label (and all labels in 
this file)? The standard label is "out_unlock". [and 
"err_unlock" for failure cases - but this isnt a failure case.]

There's 43 such bad label names in kernel/power/*.c, see the 
output of:

  git grep '^ [A-Z][a-z].*:$' kernel/power/

hm, this is a very repetitive pattern, all around the various 
suspend/resume variants. Might make sense to make:

  	device_power_down(PMSG_SUSPEND);

do the irq line disabling plus the local irq disabling 
automatically. That also means it cannot be forgotten. The 
symmetric action should happen for PMSG_RESUME.

Is there ever a case where we want a different pattern?

This change needs a second look. xen_suspend() is a 
stop_machine() handler and as such executes on specific CPUs, 
and your change modifies this. OTOH, i had a look at these 
handlers and it all looks safe. Jeremy?

Small style nit: labels should start with a space character. 
I.e. it should be:

(same comment about label style applies here too.)

Note, you should probably make PM_SLEEP depend on 
GENERIC_HARDIRQS - as this change will break the build on all 
non-genirq architectures. (sparc, alpha, etc.)
