Hi,

it seems to me that we are missing some flags. I would propose

PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_EXTERNAL_EFFECT
	in some cases going to powersave has externally visible effects
	modems hang up, LEDs on keyboards extinguish, screens blank

PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_HOTPLUG_DETECT
	hotplug is not detected while in powersave

PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_MEDIUM_CHANGE
	the device does not detect medium change events in powersave
	USB storage devices are prime candidates for this

	Regards
		Oliver

I'm fine with these, but please add them along with the users, so that
it is clear how you're planning to utilize them.

Thanks,
Rafael
