It really should be split up differently.  The topics of interest are:

	idle detection for SCSI devices,

	autosuspend for SCSI targets and its relation to suspend
	for SCSI devices,

	passing suspend & resume notifications to the transport class,

	adding a USB transport class so that usb-storage can respond
	to those notifications,

	modifying other transport classes as needed so that the LLDs
	can power-down links or host adapters.

I think that covers it.  Oliver may have some additional suggestions.
