Ok so then this approach doesn't really seem to work for the CPU idle
paths.

Can't we just configure a different chained IRQ handler with
irq_set_chained_handler_and_data() for each of the GPIO IRQs that are
handled by PDC to be the interrupts provide by the PDC irq controller
that match the GPIOs? And then set their parent irq with
irq_set_parent() for completeness? And also move those GPIOs from the
existing msm_gpio irqchip to a different PDC gpio irqchip that does
nothing besides push irqchip calls up to the PDC irqchip? Then we don't
even have to think about resending anything and we can rely on PDC to do
all the interrupt sensing all the time but still provide the irqs from
the GPIO controller.

I hope it doesn't come to that.
