The patch titled
     PNP: do not stop/start devices in suspend/resume path
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     pnp-do-not-stop-start-devices-in-suspend-resume-path.patch

This patch was dropped because it had testing failures

Subject: PNP: do not stop/start devices in suspend/resume path
From: Bjorn Helgaas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Do not disable PNP devices in the suspend path.  We still call the driver's
suspend method, which should prevent further use of the device, and the
protocol suspend method, which may put the device in a low-power state.

I'm told that Windows puts devices in a low-power state (Linux does this in
the protocol suspend method), but does not use _DIS in the suspend path. 
Other relevant references:

  - In the ACPI 3.0b spec, I can't find any mention of _DIS in
    connection with sleep.  And Device Object Notifications,
    Section 5.6.3, Table 5-43, says we should get a bus check
    after awakening if hardware was removed while we slept.

  - This: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms810079.aspx
    makes a similar point about how the OS re-enumerates devices
    as a result of a power state change (3rd last paragraph of
    text).

  - This: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa489874.aspx
    suggests that Windows only stops a device to rebalance hardware
    resources.
