I don't imagine this combination of > events is very common for disks using libata. Empty ports are pretty common and pm should be able to put the unoccupied ports and the containing pci device into sleep state which can save some power. Would be nice to have some numbers tho. But either way, if this doesn't break anything, I don't see any reason to object to it - the hierarchy reorg is more of logical cleanup and runtime pm is trivial afterwards.
