What you missed is that the linux-pm maintainers have relativly little 
weight in getting things into the kernel. They are gatekeeper, so until 
they approve it there is basically no chance of getting in, but even 
changes that they develop and push frequently have a uphill battle to get 
into the kernel, especially if they would end up touching all drivers. 
There have been several proposals by the pm team that have been shot down 
much more completely than wavelocks.
