[RFH] Power Management mini-summit during the Kernel Summit 2011

Hi All,

There was a plan to organize a PM mini-summit during the KS 2011 in Prague,
but then I didn't follow up (which obviously is my fault) and lost track of
things when kernel.org and the KS servers went offline. So, apparently,
the KS organizers concluded that the PM mini-summit wasn't going to happen
after all and didn't add it to the schedule.

Still, it appears to be possible to arrange a room for a PM meeting on
Sunday, Oct 23, if there are people wanting to attend. So, if you'd like
to take part in such a meeting, please let me know ASAP.

The topics I, personally, would like to discuss include:
- Per-device PM QoS
- Propagation of wakeup events to user space vs system suspend
- Possibility of representing dependencies between devices through
"device links" (i.e. objects representing master-slave links between
devices)
- Idea of common "platform" bus type that may cover ACPI devices (like
battery, fans etc.), PNP devices and current platform devices in a
consistent way
- Freezer improvements

Thanks,
Rafael
