On system suspend, we may not want to suspend all devices; we may need
to leave certain devices alone, and only power down the host interface
to them.

Upon system resume, therefore, devices may also *not* need to be
resumed; only the host interface to them powered up again.

We have two devices in the OLPC machine in this class: our screen, and
our wireless, both of which will often/usually be left on while the rest
of the sysetm is suspended.
