That is what I thought at first too. But when talking to Rafael he said that
IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND was intended mainly for clock interrupts. For other
less fundamental interrupts, doing the mask/unmask in suspend/resume
callbacks is sufficient and simpler... and actually works.

IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND is currently used by precisely two drivers:

arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap-wakeupgen.c
and
drivers/mfd/pm8xxx-irq.c

which suggests that it isn't widely used and quite possibly doesn't actually
work in general.
The pm8xxx-irq doesn't seem to do runtime pm, so maybe it manages to work for
that reason.
The omap-wakeupgen code is beyond my current understanding, but it seems like
it might be the sort of special case that IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND is intended
for...

Maybe we need to start a new thread and pester Rafael or Thomas Gleixner
to either explain what is intended for this case, or to fix
IRQCHIP_MASK_ON_SUSPEND so that it can be used in general.
