There is a problem if a device is removed while acpi_add_pm_notifier()
is still in progress, in which case with my patch the
acpi_remove_pm_notifier() called from the removal path may bail out
prematurely (that doesn't seem likely to happen, but still I don't see
why it cannot happen), so I'll just use your patch. :-)

Thanks,
Rafael
