Re: fbdev and power management

Hi!

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.
