[patch 2.6.18-rc5 + pm patches] PM: update docs for writing .../power/state

[David Brownell]

[ resend, goes on top of Linus' patch ]

Updates to match current code:

 - Make writes to the /sys/devices/.../power/state files fail cleanly
   if the device requires the irqs-off call variants.

 - Fix comments describing the /sys/devices/.../power/state file writes
   to match the code; the last several releases have invalidated the
   previous text.
