Hmm. I get the feeling that perhaps the of the drm_driver callbacks was 
very muchintentional, and that the code presumably wants to be called 
purely through the PCI layer, and not through the "drm class" logic at 
all?

Your patch seems like it would always execute the silly class suspend even 
though we explicitly don't want to. And a much nicer fix would seem to 
register the thing properly as a PCI driver even if you don't then use 
KMS.

So it looks to me like the problem is that drm_init() will register the 
driver as a real PCI driver only if

	driver->driver_features & DRIVER_MODESET

and otherwise it does that very odd "stealth mode manual scanning" thing 
which doesn't register it as a proper PCI driver.

So could we instead make that "disable KSM" _just_ disable the mode 
setting part, not disable the "I'm a real driver" part?
