Sorry, after the suspend, and before the resume.

We could be _in_ the suspend_late/resume_early sequence, but a driver that 
were to try to play with interrupts at that stage would be broken. It 
can't very well do a enable_irq(), because that would be a MAJOR BUG - it 
would make the whole irq suspend thing pointless, since now interrupts 
would start to happen exactly where they must not happen!
