+static DECLARE_RWSEM(device_registration_rwsem);

Is it only intended for device registration, or can it be used in some other
code paths too?

The patch uses it only for registration, since that's where it is 
needed.  I suppose it could be used on other paths as well, if anybody 
wanted to make something else mutually exclusive with suspend.  
(Although then it probably ought to be renamed...)

That was exactly my thought.  Why don't we give it a more general name from
the start?

Greetings,
Rafael
