Thank you for considering this issue and spending your time. In order to 
make your idea work, we need to add a dummy 'set_wake' hook which 
returns always zero. Anyway, IMO, I think your idea is good to work 
around this problem. But Kevin Hilman(OMAP PM Maintainer) would make 
final decision.

Buy the way, how can you handle the problem that a few interrupt are 
discarded in a small window? I can be sure they are discarded, because I 
have debugged defects which generate in sleep/resume state hundreds of 
times on ARM Processors(PXA310, S3C6410, OMAP3430). Wake-up interrupts 
are generated as soon as arch_suspend_enable_irqs() invoked.
