With this tiny patch power is turned off for PCI devices during detach (ie. when you unload module). It makes is possible to preserve power in laptops (and make them cooler) with unloading network and/or sound device modules not in use and load them only if really needed. However, I'm really not sure about all consequences this patch might cause, might knowledge about newbus and friends are still quite limited. Any objections to commit this? Tested with em(4), ath(4) and snd_hda(4). -- Hasso Tepper
