OK, fair enough. Drop that random thought then. It's not in the patch
content anyway.

OK. But GIC is ARM-specific, so we can still constrain this patch and
related topics to the world of ARM.

I'm not adding customization to arch/arm/mach-foo files. I'm trying to
remove it.

This property could be added to device tree, if there was really a valid
use case for a GIC which leaves its interrupts unmasked for suspend. My
question in this patch is essentially: does such a use case exist?
