Depends on what we want to happen here, I think. If the suspend handler
writing 0 to _INT_MASK does not also happen to clear _INT_STAT, then as
far as I can see, we may enter _irq_raw_handler, block for the lock as
suspend drops it, and then enter the function with STATE_SUSPENDING in
a context where we'd probably want to process the remaining interrupts
(i.e. suspend is at synchronise_irq() or about to be there, and we're
handling the last IRQ that got raised before mask was written to 0).

Let me know if my understanding here is correct, because I think in such
a case, it's reasonable to process that last IRQ instead of discarding it,
unless that's something frowned upon that I'm not aware of.
