The latter. What I've done so far is quite large for a -stable
submission already. The interrupt remapping stuff would be even more
intrusive, and I'm entirely unconvinced that we actually _need_ it for
current systems.

I could make it refuse to suspend in intr_remap is enabled, I suppose --
that would be simple enough.
