Thanks.

This is clearly a code path I missed when I was fixing things.

When I made the final acpi change I checked for any other users
of device_suspend and it seems I was blind and missed this one.
Looking again...

The patch in the bug report looks correct.  However it is still
a little incomplete.  In particular the reboot notifier is not
being called, and since not everything has been converted into
using shutdown methods that could lead to some other inconsistent
behavior.

Does anyone have any problems with the patch below?
If not I will send this off to Linus..

Eric
