You're both wrong.

If allow devices to be reset independently then they should probably set theit 
IRQ output on reset.

IRQ muxes (e.g. PCI busses) should handle reseting and save/restore of their 
own internal state.

Devices should not cause IRQ state changes on restore. Commit 3dcd219f is 
incorrect.
