If I'm missing any patches that's becasue they are not in 2.6.14-rc4-mm1
for some reason (I assume an important one).

Well, that depends. If the driver has a _resume() routine, it's ->power.power_state
should be set on suspend. However, if it has neither _resume() nor _suspend(),
it's ->power.power_state is not really well defined, so it's just easier to ignore it.
