Introduce generic .prepare() and .complete() power management
callbacks, currently missing, that can be used by subsystems and
power domains and export them.  Provide NULL definitions of all
the generic system sleep callbacks for CONFIG_PM_SLEEP unset.

<title>PM: Allow drivers to allocate memory from .prepare() callbacks safely</title>

If device drivers allocate substantial amounts of memory (above 1 MB)
in their hibernate .freeze() callbacks (or in their legacy suspend
callbcks during hibernation), the subsequent creation of hibernate
image may fail due to the lack of memory.  This is the case, because
the drivers' .freeze() callbacks are executed after the hibernate
memory preallocation has been carried out and the preallocated amount
of memory may be too small to cover the new driver allocations.
Unfortunately, the drivers' .prepare() callbacks also are executed
after the hibernate memory preallocation has completed, so they are
not suitable for allocating additional memory either.  Thus the only
way a driver can safely allocate memory during hibernation is to use
a hibernate/suspend notifier.  However, the notifiers are called
before the freezing of user space and the drivers wanting to use them
for allocating additional memory may not know how much memory needs
to be allocated at that point.

To let device drivers overcome this difficulty rework the hibernation
sequence so that the memory preallocation is carried out after the
drivers' .prepare() callbacks have been executed, so that the
.prepare() callbacks can be used for allocating additional memory
to be used by the drivers' .freeze() callbacks.  Update documentation
to match the new behavior of the code.

Now that we have CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG there is no need for yet
another flag causing dev_dbg() and pr_debug() statements in the
core PM code to produce output.  Moreover, CONFIG_PM_VERBOSE
causes so much output to be generated that it's not really useful
and almost no one sets it.

Many different platforms and subsystems may want to disable device
clocks during suspend and enable them during resume which is going to
be done in a very similar way in all those cases.  For this reason,
provide generic routines for the manipulation of device clocks during
suspend and resume.

Convert the ARM shmobile platform to using the new routines.

Change the PM core's behavior related to power domains in such a way
that, if a power domain is defined for a given device, its callbacks
will be executed instead of and not in addition to the device
subsystem's PM callbacks.

The idea behind the initial implementation of power domains handling
by the PM core was that power domain callbacks would be executed in
addition to subsystem callbacks, so that it would be possible to
extend the subsystem callbacks by using power domains.  It turns out,
however, that this wouldn't be really convenient in some important
situations.

For example, there are systems in which power can only be removed
from entire power domains.  On those systems it is not desirable to
execute device drivers' PM callbacks until it is known that power is
going to be removed from the devices in question, which means that
they should be executed by power domain callbacks rather then by
subsystem (e.g. bus type) PM callbacks, because subsystems generally
have no information about what devices belong to which power domain.
Thus, for instance, if the bus type in question is the platform bus
type, its PM callbacks generally should not be called in addition to
power domain callbacks, because they run device drivers' callbacks
unconditionally if defined.

While in principle the default subsystem PM callbacks, or a subset of
them, may be replaced with different functions, it doesn't seem
correct to do so, because that would change the subsystem's behavior
with respect to all devices in the system, regardless of whether or
not they belong to any power domains.  Thus, the only remaining
option is to make power domain callbacks take precedence over
subsystem callbacks.

It turns out that some PCI devices are only found to be
wakeup-capable during registration, in which case, when
device_set_wakeup_capable() is called, device_is_registered() already
returns 'true' for the given device, but dpm_sysfs_add() hasn't been
called for it yet.  This leads to situations in which the device's
power.can_wakeup flag is not set as requested because of failing
wakeup_sysfs_add() and its wakeup-related sysfs files are not
created, although they should be present.  This is a post-2.6.38
regression introduced by commit cb8f51bdadb7969139c2e39c2defd4cde98c1
(PM: Do not create wakeup sysfs files for devices that cannot wake
up).

To work around this problem initialize the device's power.entry
field to an empty list head and make device_set_wakeup_capable()
check if it is still empty before attempting to add the devices
wakeup-related sysfs files with wakeup_sysfs_add().  Namely, if
power.entry is still empty at this point, device_pm_add() hasn't been
called yet for the device and its wakeup-related files will be
created later, so device_set_wakeup_capable() doesn't have to create
them.
