IIUC, #2 requires that we change existing drivers that are currently
using disable_irq() + enable_irq_wake(), right?  Presumably, if we're
going to do #2, we should declare that what drivers used to do is now
considered illegal, right?  Perhaps we could detect that and throw a
warning so that they know that they need to change to use the new
disable_wakeup_irq_for_suspend() API.  Otherwise these drivers will
work fine on some systems (like they always have) but will fail in
weird corner cases for systems that are relying on drivers to call
disable_wakeup_irq_for_suspend().  That doesn't sound super great to
me...

...or, if doing the symmetric thing isn't too bad, we could do that?
