well, then shut it down? But what do we do on hot unplug? It seems
like we should be able to make it look like an unplug plus later
replug.

I think the desktop already supports hotplug, or we'd have bigger issues.
What happens if the DP topology changes while suspended. Ie. user
plugs in a different monitor with a hub in between, or things like
that? Seems like you can end up in scenarios where previous mode is
no longer valid/possible.
