OK, although I thought someone is just going to fix the regression introduced with
commit:

commit aab74d3e753649defa52ea43cbec1e91ebb4cc8e

    ARM: EXYNOS4: Add support external GIC
    
    For full support of power modes, this patch adds implementation
    external GIC on EXYNOS4.
    
    External GIC of Exynos4 cannot support register banking so
    several interrupt related code for CPU1 should be different
    from that of CPU0.

The external GIC has more registers and now not all of them are properly handled during
system sleep/resume. I didn't get around yet to submit a proper solution for that.  
I suspect per CPU distributor and CPU interface register files need to be saved/restored.
I'm not an expert in the GIC internals though, I'm just wondering why can't GIC be left
active during system sleep.
