That reminds me...  I think this should not be so closely linked with
ACPI.  There's a perfectly good USB Clear-Feature request for turning
off port power; that's what we should use.  If hooks are required for
interfacing with platform-specific code (such as ACPI), they can be
added at the appropriate places.
