Hmmm... I see.  This shouldn't affect host controller states - we'll
be skipping only the drive PM transitions, right?  As long as it's
well documented, I guess it's okay but at the same time I don't think
it's such a big deal to spin up drives when the system is entering
hibernation from runtime powersave.  On most systems, they'll need to
be spun up for image dump pretty soon anyway.

Thanks.
