Good point. I didn't think it that way. I think it should work.

At least not for bus_suspend and bus_resume. We will still need to override the irq
handler though. But, if we can take care of this generically in the ehci_irq handler (i.e. make
sure controller is not suspended while accessing it) then we don't need such override
for irq.
