OK, this is a prototype patch, still under discussion.

unsigned means 'unsigned int'.  I should have added 'int', but again, this is
a prototype patch.

Not necessaily.  'status' is not there as well.

It's not, but we hold dpm_list_mtx throughout the entire noirq suspend.

Yes, we do.  Specifically, for PCI.

No.  It's not called with interrupts off now.
