We certainly will need power management hooks on the tty layer -
probably they belong on the tty_port operations.
Several things have happened that make it more relevant
- power levels have come down to the point that serial ports are no
longer off the radar
- quite a few embedded and tablet devices have internal serial busses
where turning off ports and stuff behind them matters.
