A quick question: is there some specific reason why this patch should
not go into the 3.0.y stable releases? We are trying to produce
a runtime PM system of product quality based on 3.0.y and we've
already had to backport this patch ourselves to get things stable.

We have also backported:
PM: Introduce generic "noirq" callback routines for subsystems (v2)
PM / Runtime: Update documentation of interactions with system sleep
PM / Runtime: Add new helper function: pm_runtime_status_suspended()

And now it seems to be sufficient to get this thing going.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
