I think, this patch should not break our wake-up functionality.
It will just change the moment when pcs_irq_handler() will be called:

before this change:
- suspend_enter()
  ....
  - arch_suspend_enable_irqs();
    - ^ right here

after this change:
- suspend_enter()
  ....
  dpm_resume_noirq()
  - resume_device_irqs()
    ^ here

Correct? And as for me this is more safe.
