 Thanks Alen. I did as you said. I want to know how the power management

 give any type of interrupt. Suppose I have connected a pendrive to my PC

The kernel takes care of it.  However only a few USB drivers have 
automatic power management built in right now.  The hub driver does, but 
usb-storage doesn't.  So if you connect a pendrive and don't use it for 10 
minutes, nothing will happen -- it will remain powered on.

In the future, of course, more and more drivers will support automatic 
power management.  But for now, we're just getting started.

You can use CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND for your architecture by putting a line 
saying:

CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND=y

in your .config file.

 Hi,
 How to enable usb power management like suspend/resume in linux from the
 kernel. Is it already built in?

It is already built into the 2.6.20 and 2.6.21 kernels, provided you set 
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND when you build the kernel.
