There are various PM scripts which might be trying to turn power save on
and off based on certain events (specifically applying or removing
external power). They can't really tell whether it was you which turned
off power save or if it was turned off due to an event, and I'm sure
they aren't smart enough to know about module options they should check.
The errors are safe to ignore.
