For pxa910 and MMP2, wake up source only wake up the AP subsystem.
The AP subsystem includes the APMU(AP Power Mangament Unit) and cores.
Now the core is still powered down. APMU will check the interrupt
lines, and find
that there are interrupt pending, it will power on the cores.
So if the irq is disabled, even wake up source can wake up AP subsystem, but the
core is still powered down. It will not be powered up by APMU.
