Indeed, this is an option too, but for things that already have "full"
drivers (e.g. not an irqchip), they already have a full range of PM
callbacks, and adding another set of callbacks/notifiers for cpu_pm_* is
a bit clunky IMO.

That being said, for things like this IO isolation stuff that is
system-wide, and needs to happen very late in suspend (and/or very early
in suspend), cpu_pm_ is worth considering if the same cannot be done
with the normal PM callbacks.
