Everybody wants to pass it a function pointer, and in fact, that is what
you _must_ pass it for it to make sense (since it knows that ia64 and
ppc64 use descriptors for function pointers and fetches the actual
address from there).

So don't make the argument be a 'unsigned long' and force everybody to
add a cast.

but still warn about attempts to do that.

<title>PM: Remove destroy_suspended_device()</title>

<content type='text'>
After 2.6.24 there was a plan to make the PM core acquire all device
semaphores during a suspend/hibernation to protect itself from
concurrent operations involving device objects.  That proved to be
too heavy-handed and we found a better way to achieve the goal, but
before it happened, we had introduced the functions
device_pm_schedule_removal() and destroy_suspended_device() to allow
drivers to "safely" destroy a suspended device and we had adapted some
drivers to use them.  Now that these functions are no longer necessary,
it seems reasonable to remove them and modify their users to use the
normal device unregistration instead.

<title>PM: Make wakeup flags available whenever CONFIG_PM is set</title>

<id>d288e47c471e1090e80c62ad95882fafbf3f499d</id>
<content type='text'>
The various wakeup flags and their accessor macros in struct
dev_pm_info should be available whenever CONFIG_PM is enabled, not
just when CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is on.  Otherwise remote wakeup won't always
be configurable for runtime power management.  This patch (as1056b)
fixes the oversight.

David Brownell adds:
	More accurately, fixes the "regression" ... as noted sometime
	last summer, after 296699de6bdc717189a331ab6bbe90e05c94db06
	introduced CONFIG_SUSPEND.  But that didn't make the regression
	list for that kernel, ergo the delay in fixing it.

Include dpm_sysfs_add() into device_pm_add(), in analogy with
device_pm_remove(), and modify device_add() to call the latter after
bus_add_device(), to avoid situations in which the PM core may
attempt to suspend a device the registration of which has not been
successful.

<title>PM: Handle device registrations during suspend/resume</title>

<id>58aca23226a19983571bd3b65167521fc64f5869</id>
<content type='text'>
Modify the PM core to protect its data structures, specifically the
dpm_active list, from being corrupted if a child of the currently
suspending device is registered concurrently with its -&gt;suspend()
callback.  In that case, since the new device (the child) is added
to dpm_active after its parent, the PM core will attempt to
suspend it after the parent, which is wrong.

Introduce a new member of struct dev_pm_info, called 'sleeping',
and use it to check if the parent of the device being added to
dpm_active has been suspended, in which case the device registration
fails.  Also, use 'sleeping' for checking if the ordering of devices
on dpm_active is correct.

Introduce variable 'all_sleeping' that will be set to 'true' once all
devices have been suspended and make new device registrations fail
until 'all_sleeping' is reset to 'false', in order to avoid having
unsuspended devices around while the system is going into a sleep state.

Remove pm_sleep_rwsem which is not necessary any more.

Special thanks to Alan Stern for discussions and suggestions that
lead to the creation of this patch.

Remove the code that acquires all device semaphores from the suspend
code path as it causes multiple problems to appear (most notably,
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10030) and revert the
change introduced by commit 4145ed6dc597a9bea5f6ae8c574653b2de10620f
depending on the code being removed.

Remove pm_sleep_lock()/pm_sleep_unlock() from device_add() to avoid
the issue reported at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9874.

It should fix the regreesions reported at:
