One question inline about the corner case of buffered capture in progress
when the machine is suspended. We'd like the device to carry on feeding
us data on resume. Does that happen?

space before }

Also stick a static in front of them or Colin will ;)
Aim being to makes sure they aren't pointlessly allocated on the stack
if the compiler doesn't do something clever with them.

What does this comment mean? I'm in favour of course, but don't understand
why it is here and above the stub calls.

What happens if the device is in buffered mode and you suspend?
I'd expect to see the power mode stashed somewhere and restored in resume.
