While we all agree that power savings gained by runtime PM would be 
great - I don't think we should stop minor improvements while waiting 
for that to magically happen ;)

I like the saying I first heard from Jonathan Cameron - "Don't let the 
perfect be an enemy of good".

After that being said, should I re-spin this or just drop it? (I am 
cleaning up my local git from old stuff, and these are about to vanish 
from my books).
