Well, having to modify all the drivers should mean "this should be
merged after 2.6.11" (I'm in process of converting all the drivers to
pm_message_t, and would prefer another set of "touch all drivers"
changes not to interfere).

Anyway that memory freeing seems okay to me, and if you decide to
introduce in_suspend(), that would be okay, too.
