I just realised that we cannot merge this series (the second acpi patch)
until the hci_intel driver gains serdev support or otherwise PM will
break for those devices.

Specifically, the hci_intel driver uses similar hacks as the hci_bcm
driver does for PM, so we need something like Hans's hci_bcm series also
for hci_intel before we can do the switch.

Hopefully there are no more of these...
