I've tried to test these patches with OMAP GPIO and I see it works, in general.
"In general" - because OMAP GPIO has some code which is expected to be used
very late during suspend or when entering deep CPUIdle states, so I can't use
this approach "out-of-the-box" until i find the way to sort it out.

Hope some one else can try to test it with GPIO. Soren?

Here I still think, that for this solution to be complete It might be good to add additional
API to request/free chained IRQs. This is not usual case for GPIO drivers,
but with AGIC it seems possible. If no objection I can do rfc.
