ahci_port_suspend() is used to fill ata_port_ops vector, so it needs to
be a function.  If you're talking about defining NULL function, yeah,
that will remove half of CONFIG_PMs but would require dummy definitions
for all functions.  I think both are ugly.  :-)

I'm working on a linker trick.  Please take a look at the following thread.
