I definitely like IRQF_FORCE_RESUME bits, clearly much better than the
current solution.

I applied the complete series applied on top of current Linus tree (with
fixlet from my reply to 2/4 and a little reject fixup in irq.h from
3/4). 

It appears that with all 4 patches applied IPIs aren't getting
resumed/unmasked/something else after a migration.

Adding an irq_enable hook to the relevant irq_chip didn't fix it and I
didn't get a chance to dig any deeper this evening.

I'll look a bit closer tomorrow and get back to you.

Ian.
