After some debugging with Paul, I found that the patch being reverted
here was the cause of another regression: GPIO context not being
properly restored after off mode.  This caused the nfsroot problems in
off-mode on boards with ethernet devices with GPIO IRQ lines (Overo,
37xx EVM, ...)

Updating changelog, and will post v2 shortly.
