agree completely with you. Adding virtual differences between power 
states is a bad idea and causes unnecessary complication to the system. 
If we have a generic way of describing desired latencies (irq, wakeup, 
throughput, whatever), then the kernel should decide what's the best 
power state for the current situation.
