Frankly, I'm not sure.

For practical purposes the BUG_ON() assertions will suffice, so I think you
can keep the two handlers.  I'd change the names, though, to something
like quiesce() and activate(), for example.

[Hm, it feels more appropriate to define them for all platforms and make them
call local_irq_save() on the platforms that don't need to do anything more.]

BTW, please remember to update the SNAPSHOT_S2RAM ioctl accordingly (well,
I think we should move the common code to a separate function).
