- Previous PM history uses "PM: " in the subject lines (not "pm: ").

- I don't know whether it's feasible, but it would be nice if the
  intel_pm_runtime_pm.c rework could be done in one shot instead of
  being split between patches 1/3 and 2/3.

  Maybe it could be a preliminary patch that uses the existing
  if_active/if_in_use interfaces, followed by the trivial if_active
  updates in this patch.  I think that would make the history easier
  to read than having the transitory pm_runtime_get_conditional() in
  the middle.

- Similarly, it would be nice if pm_runtime_get_conditional() never
  had to be published in pm_runtime.h, instead of being temporarily
  added there by this patch and then immediately made private by 2/3.
  Maybe that's not practical, I dunno.
