Well, we could easily do it only if it was D0 _before_ resume.

But quite frankly, before I worry about "huge power surge" issues, I want 
to feel like the architecture allows for clueless driver writers, and 
still giving us reliable suspend/resume.

Once we have that reliability, and only _then_, do I care at all about 
power issues. Make it work first, and not result in a dead machine if 
there is unlucky shared interrupt timings.
