powernow-k8's ->get is calling smp_call_function_single which enables interrupts.

So I couldn't help wondering... why are we caring so much about the current cpu
speed when we ->suspend anyway ? Why is cpufreq_suspend doing those gymnastics at all,
instead of just doing nothing at suspend time, and just setting the frequency
to maximum speed on resume ?

The answer seems to be in 42d4dc3f4e1ec1396371aac89d0dccfdd977191b
which introduced all this code to work around some failure that only happens
on PPC...

    [PATCH] Add suspend method to cpufreq core
    
    In order to properly fix some issues with cpufreq vs. sleep on
    PowerBooks, I had to add a suspend callback to the pmac_cpufreq driver.
    I must force a switch to full speed before sleep and I switch back to
    previous speed on resume.


Ben, is there something better we can do here ?

I really don't want to add an #ifdef __powerpc__ to core code if we can help it.
I'd rather we didn't call into driver guts at all from the suspend path.
