Arrrrrrrrgghhhhhhhhhhhh, why is communication so difficult with you?
When did I ever suggest that as a proper fix.  ARM is frigging broken
in that path so don't push it over to PM and just deal with it inside
ARM arch code.  For now, we need to make the warning go away until
it's properly fixed so turn off and on IRQ around
get_signal_to_deliver() and mark it with giant FIXME comment.  How
many times did I write that?  I don't know how to make that any
clearer to you.  Gees...
