By the way, what reason is there for doing this to the ATA port? Does
the port take a long time to resume, in the same way that a disk can
take a few seconds to spin back up?

Don't you mean pm_runtime_disable(dev)?

This doesn't look like it would work very well with something like a CD
drive, which doesn't use block-layer runtime PM. Is that what you
meant when you talked about modifying the SCSI PM callbacks?
