Agreed.

So, I will add synchronize_irq() to both saa7134, and dmfe, the two drivers 
that their .suspend/.resume 
routines were written by me.

I already added a synchronize_irq()  plus few more fixes to the driver , but 
those patches are still in v4l tree.

I now has this:

        saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ1, 0);
        saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ2, 0);
        saa_writel(SAA7134_MAIN_CTRL, 0);

        synchronize_irq(pci_dev->irq);
        dev->insuspend = 1;

and I will probably need (with the synchronize_irq patch applied)


        /* Disable interrupts, DMA, and rest of the chip*/
        saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ1, 0);
        saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ2, 0);
        saa_writel(SAA7134_MAIN_CTRL, 0);
        
        dev->insuspend = 1;
        synchronize_irq(pci_dev->irq);

        /* ACK pending interrupts just in case*/
        saa_writel(SAA7134_IRQ_REPORT,saa_readl(SAA7134_IRQ_REPORT));

        ......
This should be bullet-proof.
