Hmm. Those things *do* seem to be suspicious.

For example, those commits seem to move code that used to be inside 
CONFIG_PM (which pretty much *everybody* has) to be inside 
CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP (which is a totally different thing, and depends on 
whether the user asked for suspend support or not!

Damien - does it work if you ask for SUSPEND or HIBERNATION support?

Len - why are you guys moving stuff into CONFIG_PM_SLEEP? I know you seem 
to think that absolutely *everybody* should always support suspend and 
hibernation, but the fact is, not everybody does. And it's a totally 
separate thing for normal ACPI CPU runstate support that people have used 
to manage a *running* CPU (and shutting it down).
