Are you talking about the irq_chip switching from enabled interrupts
to wake interrupts? It is not enough for the irq_chip to reenable the
hardware interrupt. If the interrupt is edge triggered and occurred
after you disabled it, but before local_irq_disable, the only record
of it is the IRQ_PENDING flag.
