Splitting clock part in 2 commits makes sense because two drivers are
involved. For IRQ part you would have a first patch adding all the hlist
logic only if MSG_FLAG_CAPS_LPM_IRQ_CONTEXT_LOST, and you just fill the
hlist. Then a second path adds the missing part in resume() path. I
think it is a bit odd, but no strong opinions.

If someone really wants this split up please let me know.
