In the meantime I've split it into a series of patches that should make it a
bit easier to diagnose problems, if there are any.  I'll post those patches
in replies to this message:

[1/5] - Deal with dependencies on CONFIG_PM in ACPI
[2/5] - Redefine CONFIG_PM as (CONFIG_PM_SLEEP || CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME)
[3/5] - Reorder options in kernel/power/Kconfig
[4/5] - Replace CONFIG_PM_OPS with CONFIG_PM
[5/5] - Clean up dependencies in kernel/power/Kconfig

Sure, I will.

Thanks,
