Yes, we can do that.

A while back we discussed this, and I've been running with

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/commit/?h=nightly&id=11ff1e6deceb33a5db7be31830abb46c1450755e

which disables the RPS interrupt at idle time (and kills the then superflous
suspend path). It works but for a few spurious interrupt warnings.
Though I missed the flush_work(&rps.work) caught in this patch, which
may just account for the errors.
