My brain is half fried at the moment so maybe you're saying the same
thing, but I hope this is something simple. Like...

    /* for libata runtime suspend is equivalent to suspend */
    if (runtime suspended && target == SUSPEND) {
        yeah! skip drive pm ops;
    } else {
        end runtime pm;
        ask EH to enter target PM state;
    }

I really don't think we need to optimize this further than this.

Thanks.
