Subject: Re: "irq/matrix: Spread interrupts on allocation" breaks nouveau in
 mainline kernel

I think you are right, apologies. Glad to know this isn't a regression in the
IRQ handling code :). It looks like our nouveau problems are probably coming
from the fact that we don't just leave IRQs setup through suspend/resume which
as far as I can tell, is probably not the correct thing to do.

Going to get some patches onto the mailing list for this, thanks for the help!
