Why shouldn't locks be held?
No locks which are required for suspend must be held, sure. But
otherwise holding locks doesn't matter at all.
If you can provide a way to tell them apart, this would work.
can you just tell the driver to try and suspend and if it reports back
that it fails back out of the suspend? or will the driver deadlock instead
of reporting a failure if a lock is held.
