I can't imagine why not.  And wouldn't lockdep get confused by the fact
that in the async case, the rwsems are released by a different process
from the one that acquired them?

Should we have an attribute under /sys/power to disable async
suspend/resume?  It would make testing easier and give people a way to
work around problems.

Do you want to use async tasks in the late-suspend/early-resume stages?  
I know that USB won't use it, not even for the PCI host controllers --
not unless the PCI core specifically wants it.  Doing just the regular
suspend/resume stages may be enough.

If the sysfs attribute exists, then maybe we _should_ allow async with 
PM tracing enabled.  I don't know; it's your decision.

			atomic_set(&async_error, error);
	}

What's that for?  dev->power.status is supposed to be DPM_SUSPENDING 
until the suspend method is successfully completed.

And then this isn't needed.

This line has to be moved into __device_suspend(), even though it won't 
be protected by dpm_list_mtx.  The same sort of thing applies to 
dpm_suspend_noirq() (although nothing needs to be moved if you don't 
make it async).

The rest looks okay.

How about exporting a wait_for_device_to_resume() routine?  Drivers
could call it for non-tree resume constraints:

	void wait_for_device_to_resume(struct device *other)
	{
		down_read(&other->power.rwsem);
		up_read(&other->power.rwsem);
	}

Unfortunately there is no equivalent for non-tree suspend constraints.
