MTRR does not deserve to be sysdev. It is not essential for the
system, it only makes it slow.

I do not see how enabling interrupts before setting up IRQs is good
idea.

What about this one, instead?

* ACPI Link device should allocate with GFP_ATOMIC

* during suspend, locks can't be taken. (We stop userland, etc). So it
should be okay to down_trylock() and panic if that does not work.
