No, that's never been an issue. The concern is partly that nobody
bothered writing the patch but also that it gets messy over suspend and
resume since you end up with drivers either doing explicit releases of
managed resources (which is not normally a good pattern) or mixing
managed and unmanaged access to the same resource which is also fun.
