So it is.  How about this instead?

x86/xen: resume timer irqs early

If the timer irqs are resumed during device resume it is possible in
certain circumstances for the resume to hang early on, before device
interrupts are resumed.

It is not entirely clear what is occuring the point of the hang but I
think a task necessary for the resume calls schedule_timeout(),
waiting for a timer interrupt (which never arrives).  This failure may
require specific tasks to be running on the other VCPUs to trigger
(processes are not frozen during a suspend/resume if PREEMPT is
disabled).

Add IRQF_EARLY_RESUME to the timer interrupts so they are resumed in
syscore_resume().
