Yes, I agree, I still like your changes to the core to allow these
different callbacks for different times during the shutdown and resume
proceedure.  With my patch I was trying to show that we can handle
subsystems properly now too, with no special cases needed.

Any thoughts as to applying your patch to the tree or not?  No objection
from me if you want to.
