True, only that it mentions interrupts in general, not just IRQs (I
don't know if the terminology used in the base code matches the one in
ARM's documentation).

/*
 * CPUs execute ->enter_freeze with the local tick or entire timekeeping
 * suspended, so it must not re-enable interrupts at any point (even
 * temporarily) or attempt to change states of clock event devices.

I have gone a bit deeper in the code and that's correct, AFAICS.

I think doing that would go against the wording of the comment I quoted
above, so I see two ways of fixing this:

* Change the wording to refer to normal IRQs and leave the task of
enabling and disabling FIQs to the enter_freeze implementation (ugly and
I don't see any good reason for this)

* Have FIQs already disabled when enter_freeze gets called, probably by
having arch_cpu_idle_enter do it on ARM (and the inverse in
arch_cpu_idle_exit)?

Rafael, what's your opinion on this?

Thanks,

Tomeu
