I had the same problem and I must admit I'm not good at inventing function
names.

That sounds like a good idea.  What about the following patch?

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>
Subject: PM / ACPI: Remove references to pm_flags from bus.c

If direct references to pm_flags are removed from drivers/acpi/bus.c,
CONFIG_ACPI will not need to depend on CONFIG_PM any more.  Make that
happen.

Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>
