Can you please fix you mail client to get rid of that silly copy of
the mail header?

And just for completeness. That commit 5ff04b7287d87c 'powerpc/mpic:
add irq_set_wake support' is another example of trainwreck engineering.

    desc->action->flags |= IRQF_NO_SUSPEND;

This is not only horribly avoiding any of the existing APIs, it's also
broken as hell. desc->action can be NULL when that is called.

It seems fleascale is hell bent to fiddle with the guts of the core
code mindlessly. See commit c866cda47f2c
