Well, I just tested Takashi's add missing synchronize_irq() to the
suspend path of snd_hda_intel and it doesn't help.

So it could be an issue with this driver or only this hw/driver can
exacerbate RCU this much to trigger the spurious irq machinery.

I'd rather look into Paul's direction here. :)

Well, I was under the impression yesterday that we actually want
to switch to expedited grace periods for suspend/resume *anyway*,
regardless of drivers.

Paul?
