An idea would be to model every ACPI power resource as a struct device
and automatically set up a device link from the devices using that
power resource (consumers).  After all dependent devices runtime suspend,
the power resource "device" runtime suspends by turning itself off
(and updating the PCI current_state of dependent devices to D3cold).
When the power resource runtime resumes, it schedules a runtime resume
of all dependent devices.
