Sorry for the confusion. The correct patch to apply is
pm-acquire-device-locks-on-suspend-rev-3 (plus the attending
style-fixups). It encompasses those earlier patches.

The real problem is that our current email workflow patterns don't
provide a standardized way for maintainers to tell when a new patch
submission is meant to override or replace an earlier submission (or
even a set of earlier submissions). Does anybody have some suggestions
for a good way to do this?
