Well, FWIW, we can also do something like this:

struct pm_ops {
	int (*prepare)(struct device *dev);
	void (*complete)(struct device *dev);
	int (*suspend)(struct device *dev);
	int (*resume)(struct device *dev);
	int (*freeze)(struct device *dev);
	int (*thaw)(struct device *dev);
	int (*poweroff)(struct device *dev);
	int (*restore)(struct device *dev);
};

struct pm_ext_ops {
	struct pm_ops base;
	int (*suspend_noirq)(struct device *dev);
	int (*resume_noirq)(struct device *dev);
	int (*freeze_noirq)(struct device *dev);
	int (*thaw_noirq)(struct device *dev);
	int (*poweroff_noirq)(struct device *dev);
	int (*restore_noirq)(struct device *dev);
};

and use 'struct pm_ext_ops' for the entities that may need to implement the
_noirq callbacks.  This way we'll avoid the duplication of "_noirq" in the code
pointed to by Alex and there will be one "pm" pointer per bus type, device
type, device class, etc.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Rafael
