Alan, you're missing the fact that this is a special-case for "this is the console, and we're not suspending consoles AT ALL". IOW, it was never suspended either, and it's a case that is known to be fundamentally buggy (we're suspending all the PCI bridges, but not a serial device that may be behind them!), but often work in _practice_ (because people don't use this thing for random serial devices, but for things like integrated serial lines that don't lose power). So we _could_ just save the mode, but that isn't really what this patch is all about. The patch in question is about a total hack to avoid touching a piece of hardware that we simply don't consider normal.
