As for bad effects on users ... any suspend_noirq callback returning an error 
and thus aborting the suspend will cause the error fixed by this, as the 
early-irqs won't get reenabled in the suspend-rollback [due to the syscore_ops 
doing their resume never being run].

You could for example lose keys connected thru the gpio-keys driver until the 
next reboot.

And it seems at least Laxman and myself were affected by it.
