Oh, and I forgot: the subject line says "allow *system* suspend", but
it looks like this patch is concerned with *endpoint* suspend.

I assume that whatever an endpoint does, it can't prevent the host
from suspending?  I guess I'm just confused about the usage of "system
suspend" in the subject line and commit message -- does "system" refer
to the host or the endpoint?
