I didn't mean that it should be done right now, and certainly not as 
part of this patch set.  But it should get done in the not-too-distant 
future.

Besides, splitting out the link PM stuff is not the right approach.  
It would be very lopsided.  What I had in mind was something more like
putting all the code for managing the hub itself in one file, and all
the code for managing the downstream connections in another file.  Even 
that might not be ideal, but at least it's a reasonable start.
