Hey, I'd actually like some thoughts on the power stuff in the p4 power
tree.  I want to remove my cruft to just mess with _PSx since the
power resource code is much more mature and just use that from the PCI
drivers.  For that to work correctly however, we will need to perhaps
do a pass over the ACPI tree early on (before child PCI bus devices are
attached I think) that registers all the producers and consumers.

We also might want to fix the register functions to use _PSC if it
is available to determine the current power state and then add code
to power consumers on before we probe/attach them.  Note that with
the current power resource code, this would only call _PS0 if it
really needed to be called.
