It's just a Kconfig switch, the only issue is that users might not turn
it on and for platforms where there's not much driver support they're
more likely to not have done so.

It really shouldn't cause any issues but it seems better to not push
people towards it too much when there's not much win yet.  What I've
been doing with all these patches is leaving any PM that already exists
untouched (in so far as it's not buggy).  Where there's nothing already
and it's all new code I've been using a more modern idiom.  I hope that
this minimise any impact on existing systems.
