Moreover, the I2C interrupt should be disabled during the NOIRQ phase.
So, yes.. looks like making use of NOIRQ level wasn't a correct
decision. On the other hand, I don't think that any I2C client driver
used by Tegra SoCs in the upstream kernel could cause the problem at the
moment, so it shouldn't be critical.

BTW: Jon, please CC me next time ;) [I'll try to find a better solution
for the PCIE problem]
