    What this probably means is that we need some way to turn off interrupts
    from devices on suspend, and on resume, keep them off until drivers
    have had a chance to quiesce all devices, turn them back on, and then
    do full resume.

    The "quiesce" stage needs to take account of whether devices are
    accessible (eg, USB mice and keyboards won't be because the USB host
    controller isn't resumed.)

    (and no I don't have a patch for this - I think this requires another
    rework of the PM subsystem and drivers.) ;(
