I'm slightly concerned by this. There are a growing amount of drivers in 2.5 which are being made to work with the existing power management system. This "new" system seems to have been hanging around for about 4 months now with no visible further work, presumably so that a paper can be presented before its release.I believe it is bad idea to change driver model again in 2.6.x-pre. I believe current solution is pretty much okay.Current solution is not okay and actually, the save_state/suspend distinction makes no sense. We have designed a working solution a while ago now, Patrick has it implemented for month, it must get in now or 2.6 will not have proper power management but just "might work" kind of crap
save_state/suspend distinction may be irrelevant, but I don't see how it makes whole current code "might work" kind of crap. Can you describe some significant problem with current code? I do not think it is good idea to have to touch all drivers in 2.6.0-test time without some *good* reason. Pavel -- When do you have a heart between your knees?
