irq_suspend() and irq_resume() are only supposed to be called once per
irq_chip so there should be no concern with using them.  Even if they
weren't it's probably not that performance critical really.

Yes, it should already be taken care of.  What the calls here are doing
is mostly allowing userspace to explicitly override the wake state on a
per chip basis.  I'm not convinced it's terribly clever to implement
explicit wake support on an interrupt controller, it seems prone to
confusion.  We could do that though.
