Colin, This thread seems to have died down; how should we make progress? It sounds like the suspend_irq solution is the current de-facto standard; not optimal, but all we really have right now and already in use. I could certainly see avoiding this solution if it was the first time it was employed, but re-using it seems reasonable to me? Alternatively, are you attending either Linux Plumbers Conference or the Kernel Summit? Mark implied this topic might well come up for discussion there. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make LPC due to a conflict. (and you'd mentioned having the subsystem maintainers weigh in on this; which sub-system; IRQ, power, I2C, ...?)
