Can't a device be removed (for any reason) _while_ we are freezing
processes? I think freeszing code will properly deal with it... What
about suspend semantics - if suspend fails do we say the device should
be operational or the system should attempt to re-initialize? I.e. we
are not doing suspend after all - can we still drop messages on the
floor? After all, we still have ability to run coldplug after failed
suspend.
I frankly am not sure at what point to disable usermode helper. Or
maybe we need to have a list of pending events and suspend khelper_wq
while suspending.
